Children in Need - 13th November

Dear Parents,

We are delighted to announce that we will once again be supporting Children in Need.

This year, as part of the "Challenge Yourself to 26" campaign, each class will be challenging themselves to work together and complete 26 different challenges during November. These activities will encourage teamwork, resilience, creativity and a positive attitude while helping the children understand the importance of supporting others.

Throughout next week, we will also be taking part in the 26 Step Dance Challenge for 2026. This is a fun opportunity for everyone to get active, work together and raise awareness of this fantastic charity. The Sports Ambassadors will also be supporting, motivating and monitoring the children as they take part in our whole-school Run Pudsey 26 Challenge.

We would love to hear about any other "Challenge Yourself to 26" fundraising activities your child takes part in outside of school. Please do let us know so that we can celebrate their achievements and support for Children in Need.

Children in Need Day – Friday 13th November

To celebrate Children in Need, we are inviting all children and staff to:

· Wear something yellow or spotty or choose clothing inspired by Pudsey Bear

· Bring a voluntary donation of £1 per child, which will go towards supporting Children in Need

The School Choir will perform at 3.30pm on the top playground, for their parents, friends and families. Collection buckets will be available to make further donations to this important children’s charity.

Also, during the day, the children will learn more about how Children in Need helps children and families across the UK and reflect on the importance of helping those less fortunate than ourselves.

Kind regards,

Emma Gallimore
