Primary 6 have been putting their heads together this week to come up with some fundraising ideas for Sport Relief. A letter with information about this has been emailed to you all but details are also attached below:
This year we are really excited to be raising money for Sport Relief 2016! As one of the UK’s biggest fundraising events, Sport Relief brings the entire nation together to get active, raise cash and change lives.
Sport Relief 2016 will be kicking off in schools and nurseries on Friday 18th March.
Carmondean Primary School has decided to get involved and help raise money for this incredible cause.
To do our bit and raise money we will be:
- Selling Wristbands for £1 from Monday 7th March
- Holding a Bake Sale on Thursday 17th March, donations for this are most welcome! Please see letter overleaf with information on donations of homebaking)
- Holding a Sporty Dress Down Day on Friday 18th March costing 50p and each class will take part in an obstacle course that morning.
- In addition, if children want to take their chances ‘Beating the Teacher’ in a skip off or something similar, this will be taking place at break time and will cost 50p to take part.
And, the best bit is, the money raised by the public is spent by Comic Relief to help people living incredibly tough lives, both at home in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries. To learn more about how Comic Relief spends the money raised for Sport Relief please look at the pamphlet below or visit sportrelief.com/schools.
We will also be using Sport Relief as a teaching opportunity so that our pupils can learn about the issues children across the world face, and how the money we raise can help them.
We really appreciate your support and hope that you’ll have fun helping our school raise lots of money for Sport Relief!
If you do have time please visit the web site indicated above as it is a real eye opener into how this charity supports people in both the UK and around the world. We will be kicking things off on Monday with the sale of Sport Relief Wristbands costing £1.
If you are able to donate any bought or baked items for Thursday 17th March then this would be appreciated too.
Every little bit helps!
Primary 6
