The 5th of November

Bonfire Night

Bonfire Night is a uniquely British event when we “celebrate” the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot against the King and Parliament in the early 17th Century. In fact, nobody cares about the origins of the celebration anymore, but we all enjoy a good bonfire, firework display, and sausages on the 5th November each year!

So half term is finally here, though we do not celebrate Halloween at school because it is a pagan festival I am sure many of you will be trick or treating so take care.

More importantly it will be Bonfire Night…..and I am sure you will all be going to a bonfire and watching lots of fireworks. Stay in touch send us pics have fun!

There are no right or wrong answers to this question I just want you to think about it, come up with some ideas and say why you think that.

Life without the basics

Lacking the most basic essentials – water, a balanced diet, education, health care, transport – fundamentally undermines people’s ability to live life in dignity and security. Without clean water, children fall ill and parents can’t pay for medical care.

Without transport, farmers can’t get their goods to market. As income falls, there’s not enough money to buy food. Children become malnourished and their growth stunted. And without savings, there’s nothing to fall back on. How does a family make its way back from such extreme poverty?

Children are the future – aren’t they?

• Of the 2.2 billion children in the world, one billion – almost half – live in poverty 


• 10.9 million children die every year before they reach the age of five


• A child dies every five seconds because she or he is hungry 


• Every year, 17 million children are born undernourished because their mothers don’t have enough to eat


• More than a billion children will not go to school this year – 65% of them girls.

On The 15th of October it is blog action day on poverty. We at Sacred Heart have already begun our action on poverty with our “walking in their shoes” assembly. Lets blog for all the children living in the poorest conditions in the world today lets not just walk with them I want you children who have so much to give those who have nothing a voice……speak up for the weakest and the poorest children in our world…not just on the 15th but as often as you can.
