This week we have been doing all sorts of things for sport relief. On Thursday we took part in two activites.  We started with a street sprint where we had to sprint sixty metres and see who got the fastest time in the class.  It was very good fun. The next activity we did was the assault course which was really fun too! The first obstacle was the ladder, then the climbing frame.  There were two climbing frames with a ladder in the middle and we had to walk across the ladder.

Today we are going to do a water assault course and we are looking forward to it.  The purpose of this assault course is to highlight the journeys that some children have to make on a daily basis to get clean water.  We found out at an assembly yesterday that 3 children die every minute from a water related illness.  Sadly not all children are lucky enough to have access to clean drinking water.  If you want to find out more about how you can help with Sport Relief then follow the link below:

Not all children in the world have access to clean drinking water.  The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states that every child has ‘the right to the best health care possible, safe water to drink, nutritious food, a clean and safe environment, and information to help you stay well’ (Article 24).
