All the children in the school completed a series of fitness challenges with Courtney which they were sponsored for. Some of the exercises were: mountain climbers, press ups, star jumps and an arm and leg exercise. 

Before the challenge, he did an assembly with the whole school where he demonstrated a front roll, back roll, 3 backflips and also jumped over 3 teachers! The children really enjoyed the afternoon and we raised over £4000- an incredible achievement! Thank you to everyone who sponsored the children.

The children left school at 11am and arrived at about midday. After eating lunch, they had an afternoon rehearsal to learn song parts and dance moves. In the evening, the children performed to a large audience and were treated to special guest appearances from Heather Small and from Urban Strides and the Beatbox Collective. It was a late end to the concert, so the children didn’t get home until late in the evening, but they all agreed it was worth it!

This was a fundraising event with all proceeds going to the school to help buy more resources- £188 was raised! A special thanks must go to our amazing support staff who tirelessly toasted every breaktime!
