The Sleep Charity

Please find the attached information on upcoming webinars for parents and carers from The Sleep Charity. The Sleep Charity is holding several webinars on a number of different subject matters, like supporting teens with sleep issues and evidenced-based sleep intervention for children with SEND.

Thank You!

A huge thank you to Simon Winstanley’s of Leyburn that generously donated 12 bags of compost to Askrigg school to develop the golden eagles outdoor area.

Loving Earth Project 

A huge thank you to Mrs Alderson for her work preparing for and delivering the Loving Earth Project sessions with our KS2 children.  

From the plight of turtles who die after eating plastic to decimation of our native bee population, the children at BAWB were able to explore the issues they care about most through some beautiful artwork. Guided by the expertise of Mrs Alderson, they created fabric panels to illustrate their individual concerns, using a wide range of materials, decorations and glitter (of course!) to bring their ideas to life. 

The organisers of the project also came in to support the children and talk to them about their ideas. Judith Bromley-Nicholls and Gwen Clark both expressed themselves very impressed by the children’s artwork. 

Some of the panels created will go on display at Bainbridge and then at the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in Autumn 2021: the work of one of our children could potentially make a real difference! 

Mrs Alderson would like to thank parents for donating fabric as, without their kind donations, the project would not have been able to go ahead.
