Prestatyn High School (Denbighshire) enjoyed getting together in the well-being room with their Service children School Champion to celebrate 'Purple Up' day.
They got crafty and created a purple handprint poster which is now proudly displayed on the Service children/ young people board. They also had a great time completing World War 1 and 2 wordsearches and enjoyed a few treats together.
Some of the young people shared:
"I enjoy meeting up with other Service children in school, I have got to make more friends from different years."
"I look forward to celebrating /meeting up and doing art activities as I love art."
The school also had a visit from Nik Perring, a writer in residence with the charity Never Such Innocence to lead a series of poetry workshops for 5 classes with high numbers of Service children and their peers. This event was kindly funded by the Naval Children's Charity, aimed to highlight and further promote the strong community connections the school already shares with the Armed Forces.
With Nik's guidance the young people involved in the workshops produced some incredible poems that their Service Children School Champion is going to submit as part of the Never Such Innocence Poetry Competition. It was a wonderfully enjoyable day, and lovely to see the young people surprise themselves with their poetic flair and final piece!
A big diolch/thank you to the Naval Children's Charity, Never Such Innocence, the school staff for organizing the event, and of course, the participating young people.
Diolch/ Thank you for sharing these lovely photos with us Prestatyn High School!
