Highclare Helps Haiti

By Emily Beesley (J6)

Recently, a dreadful earthquake happened in Haiti. The earthquake left many dead and others severely injured. Homes and buildings were knocked down as the earthquake shook, trapping people under the rubble. Our school, Highclare The Abbey, decided to help these poor unfortunate people by holding a fundraising event, involving many enjoyable activities. We managed to raise £186.85.

We took part in activities such as a raffle, "The ten piece trail" and a game of bingo.

Mrs Jones told us some information about Haiti in assembly. She told us that Haiti was in the middle of two of the earths plates and when the plates move it causes the country above to shake. We had a fabulous day, but we all remembered the unfortunate people in Haiti.
