A Right Royal Day!

Sing and Dance for Sports Relief

Yell have been working hard raising money this week for Sport Relief.  On Monday we visited James Hamilton Loch for a sponsored walk and run.  Some people nearly ran twice round the loch, everyone managed at least one lap.  We had a nice hot chocolate in the cafe afterwards to warm us up again, as it was a little chilly!

 In the afternoon we performed the dances and songs that we are filming for our Sport Relief video.  We’ll show it to classes on Friday at our Sport Relief event and get them to vote for their favourite!  Acts include ‘Connor Buble’, ‘Driver Craig and the Jai Who? Train’, ‘Jamie Andre’, ‘Luke Winhouse’ and ‘Fabio of the Opera’.  Get ready for some fun and laughs, all for a great cause
