What a busy day the boys and girls of Portpatrick had today!
They have been filmed all day as part of the BBC Sport Relief , Blue Peter wave runner challenge. The film crew arrived at 9.30 am and left at 3pm. The children were followed be a camera crew as they went up to Portpatrick Hotel to hold their snowdrop teas. This event which was generously supported by the Portpatrick Hotel and Dunskey estate , raised £328 – of which a donation was made to Sport Relief.
Back at the school in the afternoon, the children got the paintbrushes out and painted some banners to take with them to the harbour at night time – to welcome the “wave runner” to Portpatrick.
Have a look at all the fun we have had – being filmed as we make our way about Portpatrick. The programme is due to air on Blue Peter on either the 3rd or 10th of March.
And to top it all , all the boys and girls were delighted to go home having being given a Blue Peter badge – a fabulous achievement in itself !
What a busy and exciting day – well done to all Portpatrick pupils and staff in your sport relief support. I will watch out for you on Blue Peter and I hope you are all are proud of your Blue Peter Badges!
