Their charity has provided thousands of people with clean water...which links in nicely with our topic this term.
Mrs White has had first hand experience of the support the charity provides. She talked about her recent visit to the slums of Calcutta, and showed us some really shocking photographs.
Please look at the link below to learn more about this great charity and remember how lucky we all are!
Thanks again Mr and Mrs White for your visit.
Our first visit was from our community police officer P.C. Lewis.
She is running the S.A.F.E. campaign this year.
We talked about drugs and what we should do if we ever find some suspicious substances.
The children's homework is to complete a tobacco survey by Tuesday.

It is made up of pupils who play strings, woodwind and brass instruments.
This morning we were entertained by the strings and woodwind who played us some Christmas music.
Well done to all the children who took part, and a huge thank you to our two fantastic peripatetic music teachers, Mrs Lewis (strings and woodwind) and Miss Hurst (brass).

We began by reading the lyrics of 'The Bluebell of Scotland' and 'Danny Boy'.
We then listened to a 'Blues' song written during the American Depression of the 1930's.
We learned the story behind each song, and then were given the challenge of thinking of some songs that have a history of their own.
J7 looked at the structure and features of an article and answered some comprehension questions.
J8 researched information to be included in their articles.
On Friday Ella's grandparents are coming in to talk to us. They have travelled to India to work with a charity that provides clean water to communities. We will be able to interview them for our article.
Meanwhile, here are some websites to help you.
