Burgh le Marsh Primary raises £199.50 for Red Nose Day
Pupils at a Burgh le Marsh Primary School proved they could mix hard work with fun as they continued their environmental project while still finding time to be “funny for money”.
Everyone at the school got involved, wearing red or dressing in something silly.
Tom Hall shared a special mention for a Year Six pupil who dressed as Po, the red Teletubby. “The whole school really embraced the day,” he said.
“It was brilliant to see our school council taking part and helping to capture the fun in photographs.”
In the week leading up to Red Nose Day, collective worship focused on the charity’s work and the countries where its projects are making a difference.
Tom added: “As a Church of England school, we want our pupils to understand the importance of supporting communities near and far. Red Nose Day fits perfectly with our values of Respect, Compassion and Courage.”
The fundraising coincided with the school’s Woodland Trust project, where pupils have been planting hedgerows and trees to create a new forest school area. “It’s wonderful to see the children learning about giving and the environment at the same time,” Tom said.
Staff praised everyone who took part, celebrating both the generosity of the donations and the joyful spirit of the pupils.
