The Great Worcester Waddle 2024

Our wonderful penguin project is over! The summer trail was a huge success and our penguin chick, Tiaki, is now back with us, in pride of place by the school office! Tiaki is a Māori word which represents a national culture of care for people and places. A perfect name for our penguin chick who has a coat decorated in Māori koru spirals, symbolising new life, strength and peace. His body carries a strong message about care for the ocean with one side showing the healthy ocean with happy and healthy creatures, and the other side polluted with plastic and chemicals. Powerful stuff indeed!

Our fundraising total for St. Richard’s Hospice was an amazing £2074! Huge thanks for all your support and generosity!

Looking back on Worcester’s Big Parade 2021

We had ENORMOUS fun in 2021 with our ele-baby! She arrived in the spring and we launched straight into a design competition. With so many wonderful ideas submitted, we created a composite design and then set out to have every person in the school take a turn at painting. That’s nearly 450 people! Once she was finished she was part of the summer trail around Worcester and it was great fun going to visit her and her friends! The project came to a close when our lovely ‘Mem’ returned to make her forever home at school in October. Such great memories! The whole event eventually raised £370,000 for St Richard’s Hospice.

Our final design is a globe, showing the whole world in unity, combined with memory bubbles of those things we should remember when life is challenging – family, friendship, love and fun etc. There are lots of rainbow colours and some Indian patterns. We’ve chosen to call her Memorella Indigo.

There will be lots of other schools involved in the trail and this will give ‘Mem’ lots of friends and siblings! We’re delighted to have had a sneak preview of INKY-B from Inkberrow school. Look out for this one on the trail!
