#iwill Youth Action Day

On Thursday 5th of June the Special Agents of Change together with some parents took action to improve the environment around the Community House.  They worked very hard all morning gardening and planting flowers.  Lavender and Geraniums were chosen to populate the bee community as they have a great impact on the environment.  According to research the numbers of bees have declined significantly affecting the reproductions of flowers and plants.  It is hoped that this will attract more bees and insects allowing more pollination to occur and help the environment around the Community House blossom and bloom again.

Jubilee Centre Birmingham University

Mrs Jones represented Yeading Junior School  at the Jubilee Centre, Hub of Character Education, Birmingham University on the 10th May 2019.  'Character is like a stick of rock; it has to run through all of what you do implicitly and explicitly'  

• CNN – My Freedom Day – CNN News visited the school to film in conjunction with the WE organisation, on #My Freedom Day, 14^th March.  Five, Year 6 children previously appeared on the WE Day stage and spoke in front of 12.000 young people undertaking the retelling of Iqbal Mashi’s story about modern day slavery.  The children and the school were followed by CNN during WE Day UK and #MyFreedom Day.  Year 4,5 and 6 took part in my freedom Day and participated in singing, dancing and drama.  It was an amazing experience and the school received recognition in international news and social media.  It was very interesting for the children to see how live television in broadcast and for them to hear the correspondent speak to a presenter in Canada.  Children intently watched the crew work together.  We have received fantastic feedback from CNN, WE Schools and all the visitors present.
