Medway Primary School pupils and parents are always the best at raising money for worthy causes. To celebrate this fact we entered this year’s “Children in Need Best Assembly Ever” Competition, and we are very pleased and excited to announce that we have won one of 8 very special assemblies, to take place on Thursday 13th November .

The assembly will be attended by Pudsey bear himself, a compere and a DJ, which will all be filmed by the BBC, with the possibility of being shown on television during the Children in Need programme on the evening of Friday 14th November. This is a huge achievement for our school and an experience that our pupils will never forget.

For this reason we will be holding our Children in Need Fundraising Day on Thursday 13th November, with the aim of raising as much money as possible through the events during the week.

NON UNIFORM DAY

As the theme this year is Superheroes, we will be holding a Superhero fancy dress competition – with prizes for those judged to be the best. All children are asked to donate £1 for not wearing uniform.

FLASHMOB CAKE SALE

Everybody loves cakes and we would like to sell as many as possible over break-time. Please donate as many cakes as possible and bring them in to the class teacher on Wednesday 12th November. These can be homemade or shop bought.

GOLDEN TICKET RAFFLE

Over the next 2 weeks we will be selling raffle tickets every day for 10p each. The prize will be a Golden Ticket which will entitle the holder to a place on a very special outing. There will be 20 Golden Tickets up for grabs so the more tickets bought the better the chances of winning a special ticket!

SPONSORED CAR WASH

This year we are challenging our year 6 pupils to wash as many cars as possible in one day. These cars will be in the school car park. We ask that you help your child to raise as much sponsor money as possible as there will be a prize for the pupil that raises the most.

20p ACTIVITIES

During the day there will be face painting, an obstacle course to challenge themselves and a Penalty Shoot- out competition. All of which will cost 20p a go.

SUPERHERO MASK EXHIBITION

All the children will be creating a Superhero mask. The best will be displayed in a special exhibition which we will be charging parents and visitors 20p to view.

We will also be selling Children in Need wristbands at £1 each on the day. There will be a limited supply so it will be a case of first come, first served!

There will also be additional activities during the day which the children will not be charged for, but will create many happy memories.
