CAFOD Club

Welcome to CAFOD Club!

 

We are a group of key stage two (years 3-6) children at St. Thomas' who want to help make the world a better place.

 

CAFOD is a charity that helps people in need all over the world.

 

We will be working together to come up with lots of ideas about how we can be good stewards of the earth, to help those in need in Britain and overseas and supporting our local community.

 

We want to encourage everyone else in our school community to help and support others. We will be doing this by running our own assemblies, having our own display board in the school entrance and hosting some fundraising events.

 

Our aim is to inspire others to be better humans and care for God's Creation. 

 

We meet every Tuesday lunchtime in the year 5 classroom with Mrs Michael.

 

We always welcome new members to join CAFOD Club, if you are interested, please come and speak to one of us or Mrs Michael to find out more information.  

 

 

CAFOD Club Assembly

 

Today (Thursday 18th April 2024), CAFOD Club held our second whole school assembly to let everyone know about our plans for the next two terms.

 

1) We would like to make the world a brighter place to live in! We would like to invite you to come to school dressed in bright colours to brighten up the world by fundraising for our global family by donating the money to CAFOD. We would ask you to bring a donation if you come to school in your bright colours. This will happen on Friday 3rd May 2024.

 

2) We showed a video of a bus that was being used in Pakistan as a mobile clinic to support those in need who were suffering as a result of the devastating floods of 2022. We are also inviting you all to take part in an art competition. For this, you will need to create a piece of artwork showing the community of St Thomas’. Just like the bus is being used in Pakistan. Your entry must either A4 or A3 sized and have your name and class written on the back. Your entry must be handed in to your class teacher by Tuesday 14th May 2024, winners from each class will be announced in celebration assembly on Friday 17th May 2024.

 

3) We are going to be hosting a whole school dancethon in term 6. More details to follow!

 

We are really looking forward to helping brighten up St Thomas', our local community and the whole world!

Lent Calendars

 

We have created our own Lent calendars to think about each day and what we can do during the season of Lent to think about the common good. 

 

Here is a blank one that you can fill in yourselves at home.

We have big plans...

 

There are three big events that we are going to be running this year...

 

  • An own clothes day to brighten up our school
  • A whole school art competition to show how bright St Thomas' is and how we can improve the world around us
  • A danceathon

We held an assembly for the whole school introducing ourselves and the work we do. We put the assembly PowerPoint together ourselves.
