We are looking to raise some money for Comic Relief. For this, the children can come into school in their own clothes (with something red). We are requesting donations for this event as it will be raising money for Comic Relief; however, the amount is entirely up to you.
As part of the day, children can also bring in their own joke – written on piece of paper with their name on. The joke doesn’t have to be an original one. Teachers will be picking their top 20 jokes – which will be shared in assembly and the top joke (by volume of laughter it generates) winning a prize! This year, we would like to invite any parents, carers, grandparents etc. to join us for this assembly at 2:30pm. This will be replacing our usually celebration assembly for the week.
In addition to our own fundraising, we are also helping the BBC Radio Shropshire Breakfast show with their own fundraising event – which involves pushing a 5ft nose over Shropshire’s three largest hills (Stiperstones, Titterstone Clee and Brown Clee). Before they start the last leg (Brown Clee), they will be visiting the school and beginning their push from the school playground, where the children will cheer them on. This will be taking place the day before (on Thursday 20th March).
