Pupils Act Their Age to help Children in Need
During these challenging times, the School Council wanted to do as much as possible to help the Children in Need charity. They set a challenge to take part in the ‘Act Your Age’ fundraising campaign.
As ever, our pupils rose to the challenge, coming up with a whole host of active and creative challenges. They raised an amazing £2,637 in sponsorship!
From Nursery, we had Kyra learning two new things a day for the two weeks of half term and Olivia walked four miles.
In Reception, Monty walked 4.5 miles and Albie walked 4km raising £100. Ella made a 4ft flower over 4 days.
In Year 1 Charlie walked 6km raising an incredible £360. William chose to complete a number of jigsaw puzzles totalling 6,000 pieces, he raised £140. Rafe got creative and made a five-planet model solar system and Harry ran 6km.
Year 2’s Euan ran six laps around the block, Phoebe ran six minutes for six days, Alistair cycled six laps and Ethan read six Lego books.

Henry, Alexis and Hara-Leyani ran, walked and rode. Flo walked eight miles and cycled eight miles, raising an amazing £318. Sophie did eight chores and Saul made eight sandcastles.
Year 5 got active with Mya, Oliver, Sophie, Ben, Henry, Joel, Isla and Flynn running, walking, cycling or swimming nine miles/kms. Sienna completed nine maths problems and Alexia read 10 chapters in 10 days.
Year 6’s Emma walked 11 miles and Ella 10km. Florence and Oliver each baked 10 gingerbread biscuits and Maya and Lily did 11 hours silence raising £275 between them.
All our children wore spotty or bright coloured tops on Friday 13th November for a donation, raising an additional £350 for the charity.
We are extremely proud of all our pupils for their efforts and thank all our families for their generosity and support.
