Sponsored Walk Around Bewl Water
The year 8’s embarked on the mammoth 13 mile walk around Bewl Water as part of their Porchlight Charity Day. Homeless people often have to walk this same distance everyday before setting down for the night so combining the evening sleep out, the children got a brief insight into the challenges that some unfortunate people have when it comes to homelessness.
The children rose to the challenge and persevered to complete the challenge in what was described by some of the teachers as the fastest time that they could remember. There were some great conversations had by all and I particularly enjoyed the hour-long conversation with Maddy, Darcie and Ava Lily on the different rules and versions of Uno!
Most importantly the whole day has so far raised over £1000 for the Porchlight charity, and it would be great to continue some fundraising in hindsight of the achievement of the children. Well done to all the children and thanks to Mr Bennett, Ms Betts, Mr Crombie and Mr Steele for assisting in the day. Simon Jervis
