Enterprise

Week commecning 12/10/09

The Enterprise children had a very special visitor in school on Wednesday.

Our school business supports a charity in Tanzania. All proceeds from the cards we make goes towards helping a small village school. The principal of the school Mr. Samson Unwheater was in England and he came to meet our children and say thank you for their support. He told them all about the village school and explained the children start school at 6.30am and during the day would take a break from lessons to walk 2km to collect water. We gave Mr Unwheater a photograph of our school and the Enterprise children to take back to his village.
