<strong>Cranford</strong> Charity<br />
Fundraising Events<br />
2015-<strong>2016</strong><br />
A School That<br />
Keeps On Giving<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> students are no<br />
strangers to fund raising<br />
opportunities for various<br />
national and international causes<br />
and this year has been no exception.<br />
Charities including Macmillan<br />
Cancer, Children in Need, Save the<br />
Children and the National Autistic<br />
Society (N.A.S) have been supported<br />
and each received a share of the<br />
£1692.58 raised. The students are<br />
already making plans for new events<br />
for <strong>2016</strong>-2017 to support<br />
those in need.<br />
£1692.58<br />
Tasty fund raising from Year 8<br />
The penultimate<br />
week of the<br />
summer term saw year<br />
8 students organising<br />
a series of fund raising<br />
activities for Crohn’s<br />
and Colitis UK. Events<br />
included a cracker eating<br />
competition, a bake off<br />
with a ‘desi’ twist, their<br />
guess the number of sweets<br />
in the jar competition,<br />
sponsored Minecraft<br />
and a mixed football<br />
tournament. Ricardo<br />
Oliveira won himself a<br />
box of chocolates having<br />
eaten two crackers in<br />
a highly-entertaining<br />
minute, Rajvir Sran proved<br />
victorious in the bakeoff<br />
with her immense<br />
rainbow cake, Dinnie<br />
Heroe, Rakhwinder<br />
Gill and Zeenat Jussab<br />
won the jar of sweets<br />
with their guesses and,<br />
in a highly contested and<br />
controversial football<br />
tournament, 8Z were<br />
eventually crowned<br />
winners (with some protest<br />
from 8V). Honourable<br />
mentions must go to<br />
Haider Ali who proved<br />
himself a determined<br />
and committed cracker<br />
dispatcher, Dilpreet Pannu<br />
who showed a willingness<br />
to throw herself into a<br />
tackle from any angle<br />
and Zak Raissi for his<br />
furious and impassioned<br />
arguments with any and<br />
all who disagreed with his<br />
assessment of all things<br />
football. The effort from<br />
the year group was<br />
The Picasso Centre’s Green Fingered Gardeners<br />
The<br />
Picasso Centre has been lucky enough to have received some funding (from the CEO of<br />
Hounslow Borough Council) with which to create a sensory garden. To gain the funding<br />
the boys all had to write Mary Harpley persuasive letters with good reasons as to why they deserved it,<br />
or needed it. Months later Mr Dean announced to Ms Freeman<br />
that we had the funding. As a prelude to having the garden<br />
completed, we all began to grow vegetables and flowers from<br />
seed. The result was that Destiny<br />
showed himself to be an excellent<br />
gardener.<br />
“I’m very proud of myself because I have never<br />
gardened before, but now I know I have green<br />
fingers. I won my award for growing the largest<br />
radish: it was 13cms in circumference. Then a few<br />
weeks later in an assembly I got the reward.<br />
In September I will be in year 8 and I am<br />
determined to win next year’s competition too”.<br />
