Children in Need Day – Dress as a Hero
Friday 13th November
The Charities Committee are always keen to participate in fundraising for Children in Need. This year they are inviting pupils and staff to come to school dressed as a hero! You might come as Superman, a famous person who has inspired you or even your Gran! We ask that those participating donate a minimum of £1. Check the Charities Committee Blog for more information.
Some fun advice when dressing as a hero:
DIY guide to the ultimate superhero costume
Here are some quick steps on how to make your very own superhero costume!
- Choose a pair of brightly coloured shorts to wear over leggings for the traditional superhero look.
- Draw and paint or colour in your personalised super symbol – this could be absolutely anything from your initials to something that reflects your superhero identity. Pin the paper or card shield to the front or back of a plain t-shirt. Use silver foil or stick glitter around the edges to make it stand out.
- Make a superhero eye mask with a pair of tights, a piece of fabric or card. Customise with glitter or sequins for a sparkly look or other embellishments to suit your superhero identity.
- Make a cape using an old sheet, bin liner or colourful beach towel. Cut into a wonky hourglass shape and add tape or string to tie it around your neck, or sew it onto your t-shirt.
- Attach your paper or card super symbol to a headband or piece of fabric to tie around your head.
- Create a utility belt with a fabric belt and tape. Attach some of your super utensils to it and spray with metallic paint to make them look extra super.
- Put on colourful knee-high socks (e.g. sports socks) or cut up a pair of tights to accompany thepants over leggings look.
- Wear a pair of wellies or wrap coloured duct tape around your shoes for the super cool look.
- To give your look a touch of Pudsey power, get yourself a pair of Pudsey ears, available from our online shop or partners on the high street!
