Year 7 have been working closely with Age UK in their current expedition Spread A Little Happiness.

Students then made “Kindness boxes” for their person with the things they like in.

Year 7 Expert

Today, Colin from Age UK has been teaching Year 7 students about Dementia. At the end of the presentation students chose whether they Pledge to become a Dementia Friend. Dementia friends is a project run by Alzheimer’s Society to help everyone understand dementia so that people can live well with dementia and feel part of the community.

Spread a Little Happiness e-book

In Spring 2015, the Year 7 expedition was called “Spread a little happiness”, where students had to answer the guiding question ‘Can kindness change the world?’

This e-book contains abstracts from the essays on the guiding question.
