Sponsored 'Healthy Heart Bounce' - Deadline Day

Our latest fund raising initiative is creating quite a lot of interest in the School with today being deadline day for returning the sponsorship forms for our sponsored 'Healthy Heart Bounce' and many forms are being returned. The big day is tomorrow with the whole school taking part ranging from Reception Class to Year Six right throughout the day. The pupils will each take part to see how many bounces they can do in a minute on a bouncy castle. They will be sponsored for a set amount or per bounce. There is also an educational side to this as the pupils will be made aware of the benefits of exercise and that it can be something as simple as bouncing on a bouncy castle. This ties in nicely with the recent adverts and posters that are encouraging young people to take more exercise plus it is a fun event which helps to raise funds to help the school. Hopefully this will become an annual event.
