Pudsey Bear visited pupils at Marine Academy Primary and Nursery as part of a series of events planned in the run up to Children in Need on November 16.
The fundraising fun kicked off when the Academy children hosted Pudsey on his special visit to Marine Academy Primary after the Academy Council invited him. The Academy Council representatives shared information about their fundraising efforts with the rest of the Academy and Pudsey.
To coincide with this year’s Children in Need theme, youngsters raised funds by being sponsored to take part in Marine Academy Primary’s Military Challenge where they ‘sweat for Pudsey’!
The Academy Council representatives voted for four teachers to take part in ‘I’m a Teacher Get Me Out Of Here!’ which saw four teachers eat bugs during a Children in Need themed assembly on the day. The representatives also baked Pudsey themed biscuits, which were snapped up by teachers and staff.
Steph Couch, Academy Council lead said:
“It was wonderful to see the children so excited by Pudsey and they really looked forward to wearing their sporty clothes for the military challenge.
“Our Academy Council reps were really enthusiastic about putting on the fundraising events for this fantastic cause, especially making their teachers eat bugs. It’s important for children to learn to help others and they have amazed us with their efforts.”
