Every year, in the Autumn term and as part of our learning in the Ranelagh Curriculum, our wonderful students put together their own Community Action Projects, with the vision of making the world a better place. We have been running our action projects for over 6 years now, and every year they get better and better. The children have once again taken action to raise global awareness about a variety of planetary issues - from melting ice caps to deforestation of the rainforest - and were keen to help as best they could.

Each year group researched a charity to support, linked to their studies, and planned an action that they could carry out to raise awareness and garner support from the local community. Stalls were then set out spanning the Key Stage One playground and manned by children and members of the PTA who tirelessly promoted and campaigned for their causes. Year 6 decorated canvas bags with stunning  artwork to support Greenpeace, Year 4 made and sold lemonade with proceeds going to Water Aid, Year 2 made frosted ‘ice cakes’ to raise awareness of the melting polar ice caps and reception made stunning key rings in support of the Marine Conservation Society, to name but a few of the many exciting actions that took place on the day.
