‘A Shaun the Sheep Movie:
Farmageddon’. An alien space
ship has crashed into Forestry
England’s Mossingham Forest
and Shaun is on a mission to help
the inhabitant – a lovable alien

app and you’ll have the chance
to explore exciting new trails
across the country.

Barton C of E
Primary School
has been
crowned Recycle
with Michael’s
winning school!
Barton C of E Primary School in
Yorkshire was named the winner of
the The Salvation Army’s county-wide
competition to encourage recycling
in schools, as part of its Recycle with
Michael initiative to divert thousands
of tonnes of textiles away from landfill.
The Yorkshire pupils collectively
saved over three tonnes of clothes
and shoes from going to landfill.
Designed specifically for primary
school-aged children, the programme
is an important way for schools to
generate much-needed funds as well
as supporting The Salvation Army’s
work to helping vulnerable people
from all walks of life in communities
across the UK.
