Pupils in south east London have been busy knitting hats for babies that they have now donated to University Hospital Lewisham.
Year Five students from St Winifred’s Primary School in Lee have just donated handmade baby hats to the maternity ward in Lewisham.
Pupils Stephanie, Ariana, Thalia, Nyiesha and Matthew came in on Wednesday, July 11 to visit the midwifery team and present their colourful creations on behalf of the school.
The pupils talked about how they found knitting relaxing and calming, and how happy they were that so many newborn babies would be wearing them.
Giuseppe Labriola, head of midwifery at UHL said: ‘’It was a really kind and thoughtful gesture from the pupils and it was lovely meeting them today. The hats are so well made, and will be very much appreciated by the babies and their parents.”
