WORLD CHILDREN’S DAY MONDAY 20 NOV
Monday 20th November is World Children’s Day.
Children’s Day 2023: Theme
The theme of Children’s Day 2023 is ‘‘for every child, every right', highlighting the dedication to maintaining the freedoms of every kid around the world. We have great opportunities that other children don’t have. We can have an education and we are lucky to be able to have a voice for our students. It requires an aggregate effort from people, communities and governments to establish a nurturing environment that cultivates the physical, mental and emotional improvement of the younger generation.
Children’s Day: Celebrations
Children's Day is observed by the tone of affection, gifts, and spoiling of students. Teachers in school’s cheer on their students on this day.
Children's Day: Importance
The importance of Children’s Day lies in its significant emphasis on recognizing the importance of a protected and healthy childhood. It fills in as a reminder that childhood isn't simply a stage but a foundational period that shapes people and, thus, the general public they contribute to.
It promotes the privileges of kids as well as highlights the requirements for their general prosperity, including education, nourishment, and a safe family environment. The festival fills in as a societal reminder to protect the innocence and capability of children, considering them as the future leaders of our world.
Friday 24th November is World Fairy Bread Day
World Fairy Bread Day,is a day to fundraise for The Pyjama Foundation for children in foster care, to support their learning.
On Friday 24th, we will celebrate World Children’s Day and Fairy Bread Day/Pyjama day.
The children will all get a Zooper Dooper on Friday 24th November to celebrate them.
(please let us know about allergies and we will get them a different Super Dooper).
All funds will go to The Pyjama Foundation. Children can wear their pyjamas to school and bring along a gold coin to fundraise for the Pyjama Foundation. They do not have to wear their pyjamas per say. I suggested today that they can wear shorts and a t-shirt something comfortable for them. (Please no sleeveless tops and shoestring straps as Friday will be hot and they need to be protected from our hot sun).
What is the Pyjama Foundation?
THE PYJAMA FOUNDATION
The Pyjama Foundation is proud to be partnering with Dollar Sweets for the sweetest day of the year, Fairy Bread Day 2023.
Founded in 2004, The Pyjama Foundation gives children in foster care the opportunity to change the direction of their lives with learning, life skills, and confidence. Alarmed at the statistics highlighting poor literacy and numeracy levels of children in care, and how this contributes to a lifetime of disadvantage, founder Bronwyn Sheehan OAM made the decision to offer hope and a more positive outlook for these children.
Through a simple program known as the Love of Learning Program, volunteers called Pyjama Angels, are matched with a child in care, and spend just one hour a week focusing on learning based activities.
By bringing joy and love into the homes of Aussie kids, Fairy Bread Day key message is to sprinkle kindness.
