Children In Need

Last week we took on a big challenge – organising the fundraising for Children in Need at SPS.  We had to decide what was going to happen in school and make sure everyone was in the know about what was happening.  We presented an assembly on Monday to give everyone the information they needed about what to bring and more importantly, what to dress up as! 

Throughout the week we spent some time organising our stalls and rehearsing for our ‘Best.Assembly.Ever’.  Here are a few pictures of our preparations! 

 

 

On Friday we had a great day!  There were lots of different Superheroes in school!  We started with our Best.Assembly.Ever where we entertained the school with some gymnastics, comedy acts and dancing (with a few familiar faces!) and also gave them information about the history of the charity Children In Need and also how it helps people.

After assembly we put the finishing touches to our plans and got everything set up for the afternoon fundraising.  A big thanks to everyone who provided baking for our stall  - it all looked delicious and was a big hit with the school – there was hardly any left!  The P7’s set up some stalls that we had organised in their classroom and P6 set up a photobooth with some superhero props!  P1 had a Penny Pudsey outline which got filled up with lots of copper coins.  Thanks to all the classes for helping us with these things.  There was a ‘Hero Hoedown’ in the hall where we all danced our socks off! We finished the day with a whole school 'Cha Cha Slide' and celebrated the effort that everyone put in during the day. 

We raised a staggering £570.22 - an amazing amount for a school our size!  Thank you very much to everyone who helped out and donated money.  It will go to help children around the United Kingdom who need a bit of extra support.
