Easter Holiday Activities

by

Whether it’s finding fun things for the kids to do, paying for extra childcare, or even just all that extra food they seem to eat, the school holidays can be a struggle for many families. Covid-19 has meant that many people’s incomes have been reduced and children and young people are keen to get out and spend time with their friends.

We want to make sure no young people go hungry during the holidays. That’s why we launched our Fun and Food programme, providing fun activities with healthy snacks and meals for children and young people. Activities are provided by range of partners including schools, voluntary and community sector groups, sport and leisure services and our Family Centres.

Today the children have taken on the mammoth challenge that we call the ‘ATHON CHALLENGES’. We raised a total of £61 via ParentPay.

All day today each class bubble have been working hard to raise money for the Red Nose Day charity;

  • Starting with Class 1 who participated in the outdoor ‘CLIMBATHON’.
  • The next hour saw Class 2 tackle the ‘YOGATHON’ – each team had 15minutes to get their Yoga on – lasting the whole hour!
  • Class 3’s challenge was ‘SKIPATHON’ where the children from each team had 15 minutes of Skipping to participate in.
  • Before Class 4 ended our ‘ATHON CHALLENGES’ with ‘DANCEATHON’!

Huge well done to all of the children who participated and helped us raise money for this amazing charity. As well as all of the parents and carers who donated via ParentPay 🙂

Wear a Hat Day Charity Letter 2021

 

 

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Nettlesworth Primary School will be taking part in this year’s ‘Wear a hat Day’ on Thursday 25th March 2021 to support Brain Tumour Research.

 

We’d like everyone to take part so please encourage your child to come into school wearing a hat of any shape, colour or size next Thursday with and donate £1 via parent pay.

 

Brain Tumour Research are a national charity in the UK that is dedicated to raising funds for continuous and sustainable scientific research into brain tumours and are a leading voice calling for greater support and action for research into what scientists are calling the last battleground against cancer. ‘Wear A Hat Day’ is the UK’s biggest brain tumour research fundraising event, and we’re all looking forward to having great fun and raising funds to find a cure for brain tumours at the same time.

 

If you’d like to find out more about how our support will help, please visit their website at https://www.braintumourresearch.org/fundraise/wear-a-hat-day

 

 

Thank you,

Miss Morton 🙂
