PUPILS at Cylch Meithrin Y Fenni in Abergavenny have held a day of den building fun to raise money for Save the Children.

The pupils took part in the charity’s Den Day fundraiser which saw children across the country unleashing their creativity for a good cause.

Some 10 children from Cylch Meithrin Y Fenni brought in donations on Den Day and are hoping to raise £200 to support Save the Children’s work.

The money raised will help Save the Children to provide vital aid for children around the world who may not have a safe place to sleep or play.

Katie Making, Meithrin leader said, “It was great to see the pupils working together and using their imaginations to create their dens made using cardboard boxes from local shop The Wool Croft.

“Den Day is a fantastic way to teach children about important global issues. It was a really memorable learning adventure not just for the students but for the teachers too.”

Mary Powell-Chandler, Head of Save the Children in Wales said, “By building their dream dens and raising money, pupils from Cylch Meithrin Y Fenni taking part in Save the Children’s Den Day will help other children around the world.

“The money they have raised could provide other children with the things they need to grow up healthy and happy, like a safe place to shelter. We are grateful for all your support.”
