At Prescot CP, we aim to encourage our learners to understand and appreciate the world in which they live. As part of this, we welcome the opportunity to raise awareness about issues, promoting respect and understanding for individual differences.

So far this year we have supported some very worthy causes that have deepened understanding – and our children have had a lot of fun along the way too!

Children in Need – Superheroes

 

 

Red Nose Day

 

British Heart Foundation – Wearitbeatit

PCP Bake Off in aid of Autism Awareness

 

Dementia Awareness Day

We were visited by Deby and Sylvia from the Alzheimer’s Society. During assemblies, we had explored the concept of ‘Memory’ in terms of special memories, why we remember certain events and how to keep our memory active. Deby and Sylvia helped us to understand further the issues surrounding Dementia and how people can suffer.

During the day, our school community wore ‘Denim for Dementia’ and completed ‘Memory walks’ around the school field, holding a treasured item, photo or picture. It was a valuable time for reflection.

Y6 took part in workshops with Deby and Sylvia; they explored this devastating illness in more depth, becoming ‘Dementia Friends’ and earning themselves certificates and badges. We had some lovely comments from parents and carers who have experienced the effects of Dementia at home and felt that educating our children about it was a very positive step.

We also raised a lot of money! Thank you!
