Dhiana, in year 2 Cypress, has been helping the community throughout these hard times. She emailed her teachers to explain this:           

 I would like to share with you what I have been doing along with my mummy. 

We have been making food and sending it to NHS staff,  Homeless, Venerable People, Elderly, Care Homes, Families, Students, Schools, Domestic Abusive Sufferers and other people who are in need. 

My mummy has also set up a Gofundme Page to raise £1000 and have raised £695 so far. 

I have made a collage to show you my pictures and an appreciation letter from the NHS -see below.

It has been great fun doing this with my mummy. It is very hard work but when I see the faces of people who need the meals, it makes me feel it was all worth it. I also have learnt to appreciate what we have as some people do not have a roof over their heads.

Here is a copy of the 'Thank You' letter Dhiana received from Chase Farm Hospital.

A special well done to Lexi, in year 1 Elm, she has been showing lots of ambition, responsibility and kindness. Lexi has taken part in an online competition, read more about it here:

Each year, Lexi's dad enters cattle and sheep into various county show competitions. This year the competitions happened online and for the first time, Lexi entered the Young Handler categories for cattle and sheep. Photos and videos were sent of her leading the animals. 

Lexi's mum said "It is no small task to confidently handle animals of this size, particularly in the cattle class. She has spent a lot of time with the animals over the years and is learning about behaviour so she can better tell how an animal is feeling and how it might react in different situations as safety is paramount".

I am delighted to say that Lexi came first place in the category for Best young Handler of cattle and second place in the category for Best Young Handler of Sheep. 

A huge congratulations from everyone at Capel Manor, we are all very proud of you Lexi!
