The children performing the Nativity story
On Thursday 6th December our Mini Vinnies visited the residents at Broadway Halls Care Home to perform a Christmas Nativity and sing some Christmas songs!
They took some chocolates and biscuits to pass around at the end and they also had chance to have a chat to the residents. The children were very lucky enough to receive some Christmas tree shaped cookies too as a gift!
Everyone had a lovely time and it was a wonderful afternoon.
Mini Vinnies Charity Winter Walk

The Mini Vinnies on their Charity Winter Walk!
On Friday 23rd November the children from the Mini Vinnies team in school took part in a Winter Walk to raise money for the SVP charity.
The idea came from the children who wanted to raise money for the SVP and thought a sponsored walk around the local area would be a good idea!
Well done Mini Vinnies for your great ideas to raise money for the SVP and taking part in the sponsored walk even when the weather was REALLY cold!
