Pupils headed into school today dressed in non-uniform and wearing as much red as they could, to help raise funds for Comic Relief. We started the morning off by learning a little bit about where our money goes and how it helps people all around the world, thinking about how we are essentially helping other children to get their rights. We then sold the last few remaining Red Noses – everyone was desperate to find the rare ruby nose, but unfortunately we didn’t seem to have one in our box!
Over the last few weeks, our House Captains (Isla & Daisy) have been working incredibly hard to organise ‘Leswalt’s Got Talent’ to help raise further money for this very worthwhile cause. Parents and families were invited in to watch all of the wonderful talent on display. We had dancing, singing, jokes, rugby ball skills, gymnastics and cheerleading all being performed to entertain our audience.
Mrs Sloan and Mr Baillie kindly gave up their own time to be our judges for the afternoon – and what a tricky job they had in deciding who should be awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.
3rd went to Gregor with his jokes; 2nd went to Ela and Daisy for singing ‘Skye Boat Song’; and 1st went to Hannah, Lily and Eilidh “The Stars” for their very well practised and in-sync gymnastics performance.
A huge well done to everyone for putting themselves forward and performing in front of the audience today – we are very proud of you all! Leswalt raised a fantastic £143.58 for Comic Relief.
