The charity’s famous teddy bear mascot, Pudsey, spent time with every class on Friday 15 November, where he joined the children who had been working to raise money for the cause.
As well as meeting Pudsey, the youngsters enjoyed themed Children in Need activities throughout the day, and also swapped their school uniforms for colourful yellow or spotted outfits.
“It was a whole school event, with roughly 200 children and all staff partaking also,” said Ashleigh Webb, who is our Year 6 Class Teacher. “There were opportunities for discussions around why Children in Need is so important, including a whole-school assembly and fun activities for individual classes to take part in.”
Our school, which is a member of the West Norfolk Academies Trust, hopes to have raised more than £150 for Children in Need 2024.
