Kene Madueke Foundation
On Tuesday, Yvonne and Udoka Madueke visited Bowmansgreen to lead a special assembly for pupils in Y4 – Y6. They talked about their talented, courageous son Kene who was a former pupil at Bowmansgreen, and the foundation they have set up in his memory. The Kene Madueke Foundation, supports teenagers diagnosed with cancer and other terminal illnesses.
Tuesday was a non-uniform day, where staff and pupils wore yellow – the colour commonly associated with certain types of cancer, particularly childhood cancer or sarcoma. The assembly informed and supported pupils’ understanding of why and how some people can develop cancer and how we might be able to support them, ourselves and each other when someone we know becomes ill.
Pupils took this opportunity to share some of their own experiences and ask thoughtful, pertinent questions. The assembly also highlighted how many families within our school community have been affected by cancer – more than two thirds of pupils sharing that they have a family member or know someone close, who has or has had cancer.
It was unexpected and incredibly uplifting, just how many pupils seized this opportunity to learn and share their own experiences.
A huge thank you to Yvonne and Udoka for sharing their family’s experience and journey; for helping to raise awareness of a disease that affects so many families within our school community and beyond; and for empowering our pupils with knowledge.
Thank you Bowmansgreen families, for helping to raise £400 for the The Kene Madueke Foundation.
This half term, Reception are learning about the people who help us.
This week, we focused on the police, with a ‘crime scene’ in the book corner.
The children became police officers and investigated the scene, looking for clues and thinking about who could have caused such a mess!
The children have enjoyed dressing up as police officers and solving crimes.
We have also been decorating police cars and making our own police officers.
We look forward to finding out more about the different people who help us in the community, next week.
