This week, we have received a special video message from Reverend Allison Harding. She has shared the message of harvest with us and explained how fortunate we are to have lovely food to eat. We would usually use this time of year to collect donations for the West End Food Bank.  Unfortunately, due to current restrictions we are unable to collect your donations in school.  We would like to take this opportunity to encourage families, where possible, to make a small donation to the food bank using the donation points at your local supermarket (Sainsbury's in Throckley have a donation point).

The urgently needed items are:  Tea bags, instant coffee, sugar (500g), biscuits, cereal, pasta, rice, UHT or powdered milk, long life fruit juices, pasta sauces, tinned - meat, fish, fruit,           vegetables and rice pudding.
