Red Nose Day

Red Nose Day is a day when people go to school or work wearing a red nose. Red Nose Day was invented in 1985 by a group of people called Comic Relief to raise money to tackle the root of poverty and social injustice. To tackle the roots they raise around £1,000,000 by holding 2 events called Red Nose Day and Sport Relief.
We at Fetlar Primary School held our Red Nose Day on Monday 18th March. We started it by giving out sheets of paper to whoever came so they could answer the general knowledge quiz that was on it. After everyone had done the quiz we announced that the winner would get a special prize. Then a few people had their face painted by one of our students. We decided to paint faces and noses so we don’t use as much plastic. Whilst that was happening other people were having a go at the bean bag throw (which also had a special prize.)
After all of the fun happened we counted how much we raised and we managed to raise £32.00. We sent all of the money to Comic Relief and the £32.00 we raised was raised only by a few people! The prizes were a chocolate bar for the winner of the quiz and for the winner of the bean bag throw they won a chocolate bar also, second place won some sticky notes.
