Our Huge Unbelievable Great Goal (HUGG)
At Duston Eldean we have a 'Huge Unbelievable Great Goal' and that is to be kind and thoughtful. We want the children to understand the importance of kindness in our lives and the impact we can have on others. Our HUGG, provides termly targets to explicitly teach children vocabulary and actions to promote these qualities.
Kindness in the Community
As part of the HUGG, we are launching our ‘Kindness in the Community’ project which will provide opportunities for our children and staff to support our local community and strengthen connections.
‘Giving back’ to the local community is incredibly empowering and highly rewarding; throughout a child’s journey at Eldean, this project will promote the importance of supporting the Duston community.
Just a few activities we have planned for this year:
- Litter picking within the parks and streets of Duston
- Inviting senior citizens into school to take part in reading and board game sessions
- Participating in the Christmas Tree Festival
- Sending Christmas cards to local shops and our neighbours
- Collections for food banks
- Supporting local charities: Hope Charity & PASIC
- Regular choir events
- Being involved in the ‘Grow Together’ allotments
