Habitat for Humanity NI

 

We were delighted to welcome back Habitat for Humanity NI to do workshops with all of our Key Stage 2 pupils. All of our Primary 5, 6 and 7's worked with Peter learning about waste, recycling and the many struggles of the third world.

The wonderful work of Habitat for Humanity can't go unnoticed and we were delighted to weclome Peter back this morning to be able to give a donation to this work.
