Comic Relief Day - Friday 17th March
Whoberley had a whale of a time on Friday as they celebrated Comic Relief Day. The School Council made sure that they listened to all of the children's ideas on what theme they wanted this year. The majority of children voted for a Pyjama Day. The Council also wanted to organise a cake sale, a red nose sale and a 'Laugh-A-Lot' assembly. The children believed that if a target was set then they were more likely to achieve it (and perhaps exceed it). The target was set at £300.00 - quite a lot of money to raise.
Well Whoberley certainly gave it their all. We had almost all children (and teachers) in their pyjamas. We received hundreds of cakes from our amazing familes and we sold all of the 96 red noses that were donated to us by the PTA. The 'Laugh-A-Lot' assembly was a great success and we listened and laughed at so many jokes. All of the children that took part and who won received a chocolate treat. Well done to everyone who was brave enough to get up there and make us all laugh. Our 4 winners were George (Nursery), Autumn (Reception), Harriet (Year 2) and Jessica (Year 6).
As soon as all of the money has been counted will will give you an update on the total raised. Take a look at some photographs from the day.
