As mentioned in last week’s letter, here is the information from Marie Curie Cancer Care about this fundraising scheme. Please find with this letter a planting pack and sponsorship envelope. Thank you
We are delighted to inform you that your child will be taking part in Marie Curie Cancer Care’s Mini Pots of Care, run in partnership with the Yellow Pages.
Mini Pots of Care is a fun and creative way for children aged 3 to 11 to learn how plants grow while helping people affected by cancer in their local community.
Your child will receive their very own daffodil bulb to take home to be planted over the next few weeks. Please encourage them to care for their growing shoot until it blossoms into a beautiful daffodil in the Spring.
Mini Pots of Care contributes to Key Stage 1 and 2 National Curriculum requirements for science.
As part of the planting activity, your child is bringing home an envelope to help raise money for Mary Curie Cancer Care. Money raised by your child will help provide more hours of home nursing for people with terminal cancer and other illnesses. The activity also saves our valuable resources as all the promotional materials are being generously supported by Yellow Pages, with the planting materials supported by Homebase and delivered free of charge by City Link.
In March 2009, once your child’s Mini Pot of Care is in bloom, pupils will be invited to bring their daffodil to school for a flower show (date to be confirmed).
Thank you very much for your wonderful support. We hope your child has lots of fun taking part.
