Break the Rules Day Raises £571.50 for Stevenage Community Trust!

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 14:56:00 GMT

Every year children in year 6 form a government. They make pledges and the whole school votes for which team they would like to be the school government. The Cold Capybaras were voted in last year. One of our pledges was to raise money for Stevenage Community Trust. One of our events was a break the rules day. There was a total of 9 rules to break, each one making a sum of money. This event was very successful and we raised a total of £571.50. Everyone had a really good day. Written by Finn a former Almond Hill pupil.

Blue Cross Visit

Fri, 4 Oct 2024 13:05:08 GMT

This week in Year 5, we had a visit from Blue Cross. An animal welfare charity that provides veterinary care and expert behavioural help as well as helps finding homes for pets in need. During their visit, we had an interactive presentation with lots of interesting information about the importance of keeping our pets safe, especially during the winter months. The children were really fascinated by the facts and were asking many thoughtful questions. We are really proud of our Year 5’s for immersing themselves during the presentation and being respectful. They also showed great resilience and aimed high. Great job Year 5!

So far, we have raised £32.50.

Abilities in Me

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 13:20:24 GMT

Almond Hill, along with many othe schools, held a fundraising day on Monday 25^th September to raise money for a fantastic charity. As most of you will know, The Abilities in Me Foundation writes children’s stories based on real children with a range of conditions. Money raised goes into: creating more books to help raise awareness, supporting school SEND projects and running family support events which they are looking to expand across the UK. If you would like to find out more, please go to: www.theabiltiesinme.com. All teachers read at least one book from the range to children during the day. Children were invited to wear an item of brightly coloured clothing to school to highlight that although we may have some differences we are mostly the same. Parents of children in Years 4, 5 and 6 will remember that the author of this book series visited the school (free of charge) last year and donated her entire series to our school library. Children were truly inspired by her visit and her books so this is a lovely way to support the charity.

As a school, we raised an impressive £183.19
