Pupils from Cottingley Primary Academy are ‘on tour’ this week, bringing festive cheer to locations around South Leeds this week.
Children from each class have visited different venues to sing carols and raise money to help improve the outdoor play facilities at the school.
On Monday (9 December 2024) children entertained shoppers at White Rose Shopping Centre:
Pupils have also visited St Mary’s Church in Beeston, whilst younger pupils sang for parents at school. On Thursday (12 December) Year 5 pupils will sing at B&Q at Junction 1 retail park and on Friday (13 December) Year 6 pupils at Asda on Old Lane in Beeston, both from 10am.
Jessica Walton from the school explained:
“We’re doing this to build up our links out in the community and we’re raising money for play equipment, all things to develop the children’s play and learning in the outdoor area and to spread some community spirit and festive joy.”
While you’re here, can we ask a favour?
South Leeds Life is published by a not-for-profit social enterprise. We keep our costs as low as possible but we’ve been hit by increases in the print costs for our monthly newspaper which have doubled in the last two years.
