Flying Start @ Penryn Raise Funds to Support Victims of Typhoon Haiyan

Flying Start @ Penryn learn about extreme weather, natural disasters and the devastation that can be caused.

The children explore recent news of Typhoon Haiyan and the devastation caused by this extreme weather in the Philippines, to the children, families buildings and schools.

The children learnt how dangerous weather can be and looked at photographs from the Philippines of a school before and after the typhoon. This is when the after school children decided that some of the money raised for children in need should go to children in real and desperate, current need: the children in the Philippines.

The children and Natalie (our trainee who has done lots of travelling in Asia and specifically the Philippines) decided to raise money for Shelterbox a charity helping with food aid and rebuilding schools and buildings. The children had a pyjama day and made lots of cakes to sell.

The parents, staff and friends were very supportive and a big well done to Flying Start @ Penryn must be given, as they raised a huge £50.48! Well done!
