Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day 2024

 Thank you to everyone who took part in this year's 'Save the Children' Christmas Jumper Day. It was brilliant to see so many children and staff wearing their festive jumpers. Once again, we shone like the stars we are and raised £235 for this worthy cause. Well done everyone!

Children in Need 2024

As part of our fundraising efforts for this years Children in Need, classes were asked to decide on a theme and then 'Dress Up and Donate.' Chosen themes ranged from Pyjamas, to Superheroes, to Hobbies and Interests. We had some fantastic costumes and most importantly raised a wonderful £409 for this amazing charity. Thank you to everyone for your generous donations. 

Animals in Distress - Field of Dreams

Our final fundraising effort for the year, involved raising awareness and funds for the Animals in Distress charity. Supporting a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs, through to reptiles and amphibians, this wonderful charity provides rescue, medical treatment and food and shelter to wild, stray and abandoned animals. To help spur our fundraising efforts, members of the charity delivered an assembly to the whole school, in which they shared information on the animals they support and how. The children loved it, as the charity even brought some of the animals in for the children to see and pet if they wanted to. We raised a fantastic £339 for this incredible charity - thank you for generous donations!

Red Nose Day 2024

Caldershaw Pupils (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed Red Nose Day 2024. Pupils voted to come in their favourite colour or dressed in a selection of colours, including crazy hair and face paint. Our fantastic cook, Rorrie, also made Red Nose biscuits to aid in our fundraising efforts. We had a wonderful day and most importantly raised £580 for this extremely worthwhile cause!

Brain Tumour Research 'Wear a Hat Day' 

Part of the school Council's 'Big Action Plan' for 2023-2024 was to participate and raise money for the Brain Tumour Research 'Wear a Hat day.' The children had a great time wearing their own clothes and hats (many of which were very imaginative) and for our efforts we raised a fantastic £631!

Cat's Protection Day 2023

The final part of our 'Big Action Plan' for 2023 involved informative class talks from a representative from Cat's Protection, followed by a 'purrrfect' day of fun and fundraising for this worthy cause. During our fundraising day, pupils and staff dressed up as cats (or in cat colours) for a £2 donation. Some lucky children who were picked from a draw, then had the opportunity to paint the faces of  their Teachers and Teaching Assistants to make them more 'cat like.' As you can see, some of the results were interesting but the children had a great time doing this. Finally, staff and pupils paraded their feline moves down a catwalk to cat themed music. For our incredible efforts we raised a fabulous £574! A huge thankyou and well done for all of your support.

Caring Caldershaw

As part of our Big Action Plan, the School Council delivered handwritten letters and postcards to residents within our local community. The letters were written by all of the children within our school, with the intention of spreading some happiness and good cheer.

The Guide Dog association.

 Well done to Caldershaw-we raised £406-98 for the Guide dog association. The children enjoyed taking part in a blind folded obstacle course which helped them to have a greater understanding of how it feels to be blind. They also had fun playing Pin the tail on the dog!
