Budding intrepid explorer, Laura Taylor, who is a Teaching Assistant at Scarcroft Primary, is working with the Friends of Scarcroft School (FoSS), the school’s parents’ association, to get the round-the-world trek off to a fantastic start. We are hoping to hit their fundraising total of £15,000 so that pupils and their families have access to a range of books and texts which will enrich learning across the curriculum.
Through collectively counting their steps and converting them into miles, teachers will take the school and its pupils on the sightseeing trip of a lifetime, stopping off along the way to soak in the atmosphere in capital cities, gaze in awe at natural wonders and be astounded by the many manmade marvels across the planet. Laure says,
“At Scarcroft, we live and breathe Barack Obama’s statement that ‘Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible’. We wanted to do something impressive to encourage our community to help us raise £15,000 and we thought a round-the-world walk of 24,901 miles fitted the bill perfectly!
“By modelling our ‘Developing All of Me’ values of being Healthy, thinking Positively, building Curiosity and taking Responsibility we know that we can inspire our students and now we just need our supporters to help us reach our target!”
