Children in Need

What a lot of spotty people in school today! When the children began to arrive at breakfast club I knew that there was something wrong - so many of them had terrible outbreaks of spots all over their faces, their clothes and in some cases the rest of their clothing. Even the staff were afflicted and although they didn't seem to be suffering too much some appeared to be very ill indeed.

Fortunately this was all an attempt to support the children in need appeal. Our theme for the day was non-uniform with the added attraction of "spots" if they were able to be added. Many of the children adopted the spots with gusto and the overall vision at the start of assembly was similar to a multi-coloured measles ward. Very scary. At the end of the day we also held a cake sale to raise funds by ensuring that the weekend commenced with lots of sugar intake for many of the children. We managed to raise nearly £160 from the non-uniform collection and a further £48 from the cake sale. A good effort by all concerned.
