Our Mini Cadets would like to give gifts to our local children’s ward at the William Harvey Hospital. The Padua Ward has been visited by the police officers that run our Mini Cadets, and the staff explained that they are in need of gifts, toys etc for the children that stay on their wards. The Mini Cadets made a list of the types of items needed, and once they have collected them, they will be making up individual shoeboxes for the children.

All items can be second-hand apart from teddies, soft or fluffy toys which can only be new. Please could all items be cleaned, like new and in good working order.

Ideas for items needed for the shoeboxes:

·         Wordsearch books

·         Puzzle books

·         Colouring in books

·         Colouring pens

·         Nail varnish

·         Pamper sets

·         Reading books

·         Fidgets

·         Baby toys

·         Board games

·         Play dough

·         Dobble

·         Uno

·         Card games

·         Baby grows

·         Vests

The hospital would also like any bigger items for their play room on the Padua Ward; toys, board games etc, but again, please ensure that these are like new condition, clean and in good working order.

THE MINI CADETS WILL BE ON THE SCHOOL GATES AT MORNING DROP OFF FROM MONDAY 1ST DECEMBER TO FRIDAY 5TH DECEMBER – PLEASE BRING ANY DONATIONS TO THE MORNING GATE THAT WEEK.

 

This week, our young carers had a wonderful time at East Kent College, where they joined the catering department for the afternoon. They were shown how to make a scotch egg and then had the chance of making their own. Thank you to everyone at the college for making the afternoon possible. The children really enjoyed themselves. 

Well done to everyone for all your hard work this week!

Congratulations to two of our pupils who had their first tackle rugby game last weekend. They tackled hard and scored some tries, which is an amazing first effort. Well done, girls!

Our Mini Cadets were 'put through their paces', this week, when they took part in fitness training. They were put through the bleep test, which is a test that all police officers have to take part in when joining the police force. They all did so well and impressed everyone with their stamina. Our cadets then took part in some fun team work games and finished off the session with parade training from the Chief Inspector!
Well done Mini Cadets! Keep up the amazing commitment to your training!
