Little FISH
Welcome to the home of The Little FISH!
We are a dedicated group of children who were elected by our peers to represent each class from within our school on our Academy Council. Working alongside Miss Smith, we aim to ensure that everyone who is part of our St Nicholas #SchoolFamily can enjoy a life full of opportunity, challenge, colour and love!
Why Little FISH?
You may be thinking that our name is a little unusual! Well, it simply means 'Faith In Small Hearts' and it comes from ... us!
At St Nicholas CE Primary Academy, we believe that each and every one of us is put here on Earth to 'have faith'. Not necessarily the religious version of 'faith' but the type of faith that is to do with humankind. That element of faith which unites us together as one family - LOVE.
Being a Little FISH representative means that we embody the Light and Love that each and every one of us is capable of showing. We let our light shine, so that others can #SHINE their own beautiful light too.
After only being together a week, our Little FISH spoke to over 800 people on a Picture News Webinar. They spoke about how we use Picture News in our school and they told everyone what they love about using Picture News. St Nichs' Little FISH were the only school to be asked to help deliver this special training to a variety of people in schools such as: teachers, Headteachers and other children. The feedback our Little FISH received was wonderful. Our Little FISH really did shine their light across the whole of the UK!
Little FISH were invited by the Mayor of Boston, Councillor Anne Dorrian, to see the town of Boston's many artefacts that are kept in the Mayor's Chambers. We also got to see the Mayor's Parlour where we were allowed to explore and ask lots of questions.

In our meeting with Mr Booth, we were given 3 challenges to complete over the Summer term.
We have been asked to arrange a fundraising event and a project to support our Infinity Trust charity, Save Our Wild Isles.
The charity that was chosen by Infinity Academies Trust is called 'Save Our Wild Isles'. This campaign is run by three charities that are similar to those that we voted for. The charities involved are the WWF, the RSPB and the National Trust.
The UK's nature is amazing. It’s also our life support system. But our precious wildlife and wild places are on the brink. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. If you love nature, act now and find out how you can be part of the change.
So, as part of Infinity Academies, we are all going to be a part of the change. All schools across our trust are planning a fundraising event and a project that we can do as a school to support wildlife in our school grounds.
For more information on the charity, please see the video below and the link to BBC Iplayer where there is a special documentary on Save our Wild Isles.
As a Little FISH representative, one of our duties includes delivering information to our whole school family. During the Summer term, we are showing the whole school videos from other schools within our trust so we can get to know what other schools are like. Check back to see photographs and videos of us delivering and leading Collective Worships and assemblies.
