Friday 13th March - unlucky for some, but not for Harewood Primary. Everyone made their faces funny for money. From wacky hair, to crazy glasses - all in aid of a great cause. Comic Relief help thousands of people living in poverty and difficulty, both here and abroad. Over £1 billion pounds has been raised since the charity started over 30 years ago.
As soon as everyone arrived, the money started flooding in. We all donated £1.00 to wear our glamorous gear. We were all ecstatic with excitement knowing the day would be jam packed with Comic Relief related activities - from funky face-painting to movie making; we couldn't wait to get started.
Then at noon is was time for the prize draw that everyone had been waiting for! Who would be chosen for this important job? Five lucky children got to paint a teacher's face and what a sight! They certainly looked funny for money.
To wrap up the day, we had a Red Nose Day themed assembly. You just couldn't take Mr Sturgess seriously! Class 4 did an excellent video all about Red Nose Day and how every little donation helped.
Here at Harewood we had a wonderful time raising money. It is so important to help raise money for those who need our help. We had a great day - we hope you did too!
That looks like fun. I hope the paint washed off at the end of the day or Mr Sturgess might be frightening people on his way home from school!
