On Friday 26th May we held our Global Neighbours Celebration Assembly to share our incredible work from our Global Neighbours Week. 

This year-long project has been a brilliant way of connecting our children with global issues and enabling them to find their voice as courageous advocates. Each year group has a key area to study, and our aim was to make a change in this area, however small, and help change and challenge injustice and global problems. It was so amazing to hear our children from Nursery to Year 6 share their projects with such eloquence and passion, and this year alone they have achieved the following:

• Sent filled pencils cases to children less fortunate in the UK
• Twinned our school toilets with toilets in communities across Africa
• Written tweets to Enfield Council and produced posters about the dangerous parking and speeding in the roads around our school
• Completed a sponsored silent read to raise money for Oxfam;
• Written letters to Malala praising her actions to ensure girls have access to education
• Started to compile a cookbook specifically for the foods we waste the most in the UK
• Baked bread to sell and raise money for the Enfield Food Bank
• Written our very own protest song about being Global Neighbours
• Created postcards and raised money for refugee children

Watch this space… pupils at Forty Hill are changing the world! We are so proud of all you!

Enjoy our brilliant Year 1 singing their Protest Song for their Global Neighbours Project
