Year 5 have been inspired by Hundertwasser. An unusual artist who was known for his own modern style - Sui Generis… which means ‘one on his own’ …

We see trying to look outward and think beyond ourselves. This week, Pauline and Simon Kay shared how KISA are hoping to transform lives in Great Hope School by providing solar lights rather than using dangerous kerosene lamps. Children can complete their homework safely if we help them. Each light costs £7 and we would like to support them in buying 250 lamps for the children at Great Hope School. We have already heard how water filters are transforming lives and now we can help in a different way. #help #courageousadvocacy #changelives
