Children in Need 2017
As you will be aware we are fundraising for Children In Need again this year. Lots of activities will be taking place from Monday 13th to Friday 17th November. Here is a quick run down and a reminder of prices.
Primary 1-3 will be able to guess Pudsey’s birthday (50p a guess) and Primary 4-7 will be able to guess how many spotty sweeties in the jar (50p a guess). We will be visiting classes, Monday to Thursday, to ask if children would like to buy a guess.
On Friday 17th November we will have a day for Children in Need. There will be a Talent Show and activity stalls. The stalls are:
*Beat the Goalie – 10p
*Face Paint – 50p
*Lucky Dip – 30p
*Pin the bandage on Pudsey – 10p
*Bake Sale – 50p (if you would like to bake something for the Bake Sale, please bring it in on Friday morning)
*Colouring-in area – free
Primary 1 and 2 are asked to pay a set entry fee of 50p, with access to all stalls (excluding the Bake Sale).
Children are asked to come to school on Friday 17th wearing something spotty. The cost of this will be £1.
We will be coming round classes with glow in the dark Pudsey bands costing £1. (one per child)
All of the money raised from these events will go to Children in Need.
Thank you for your support and we are sure that the children will have a great time.
