Volunteering Club Members are Promoted to Agents of Change
The children at Bourne Elsea Park Primary Academy understand the importance of looking after each other and working as a team to make the world a better place. Whether it’s through small gestures such as paying someone a compliment or holding open a door, or more substantial efforts such as raising money or donating to local and global charities, they know they can have a positive impact on the world around them. One group of children who have recently been going above and beyond in their efforts are the Bourne Elsea Park Volunteering Club children. Since September, they have kept their eyes and ears open in order to spot ways they could spread a little love, care, kindness, compassion, support and joy to those around them. Everyone has been impressed by the motivation and enthusiasm they have displayed while taking part, and we are sure they have earned their titles as Agents of Change. Miss Ockwell, Volunteering Club leader and Year 4 teacher, said “This has been the best club I have ever led. It has been lovely to see the children so enthusiastically discussing ways to improve the world and it makes my heart burst with pride to see their eyes light up as they realise the impact their actions are having on those around them. Well done team! Keep up the good work!”
Here are a few of the ways they have brought happiness to those around them: making posters for the Tesco Foodbank collection point to make it even more eye catching, making commiserations cards for the King after the passing of his mother the Queen, collecting money for the Macmillian World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, making Christmas cards for the residents of The Cedars, making motivational Christmas and Get Well posters for the children’s ward at Peterborough Hospital, and making Get Well Soon cards for a certain special little girl in our community.
As we are sure you’ll agree, it’s quite an impressive range of thoughtful acts and they are all full of pride for themselves and each other. I wonder if their actions will inspire you to be an Agent of Change today?
