Our students threw themselves into a range of exciting activities with a determined goal of raising £200 or more for the BBC Children in Need Appeal.

The day was packed with fun at Walpole Cross Keys, including treasure hunts, quizzes, guess the number of sweets in the jar, and the classic pin the patch on Pudsey.

Crucially, the fundraising was paired with thoughtful classroom discussions where pupils learned about why charitable giving is so necessary.

Billy Overton, Assistant Head, reflected on the day: “The children knew that they were raising money because some children in this country and other countries are not as lucky as we are and some are poor, have no home or food and need our help. 

"We have a brilliant community spirit and always rally round when someone needs help... We know we can help in our own locality and be part of something bigger to help people all round the world."

Across the West Norfolk Academies Trust, other schools like Clenchwarton Primary embraced yellow and spotty clothing, and Gaywood Primary completed a high-energy Dance-athon.
