Year 2: Caritas Day

Today, the Year 2 children learned about the term ‘human dignity’ and that everyone should be treated equally as we are made in God’s image. The children learned that water is vital for life. However, it is estimated that worldwide women and girls spend 140 million hours a day collecting water. We focused on the story of Guti, a girl from Uganda in Africa.  She spent hours walking to and from a water point when she could have been going to school or playing with friends. We learned that a charity called CAFOD repaired the pump at Guti’s school, so the pupils could have access to clean water.
