SELWOOD Academy year 6 students hosted their own ‘wellbeing market’ last month, raising £300 for charity.
The school reports, “Each class designed, created and marketed a product that could be used to improve wellbeing such as stress balls, putty, glitter jars and worry beads. This project was inspired by a Selwood year 7 enterprise topic in the autumn term, in which pupils made and sold recycled products for eco-charities.
“The year 6 students raised just over £300 for various charities including charities currently helping the Ukraine. This was a great opportunity for year 6 to think about others, while also creating things that can be used to support their own emotional wellbeing – something which is high on the agenda of all schools now.”
