As you know Year 7 students are carrying out a day of fundraising at Gateshead International Stadium linked to their studies from the last learning expedition “Staying Alive”. Students read a text excerpted from worldvision.org about two children whose lives were profoundly different, due to their access to clean water.
Working together in Crews, our students will aim to carry 5 litre bottles of water around as many laps of the 400m track as they can.
The funds raised will be put towards twinning our school toilets with a set that have been installed in an area of need, transforming a community.
Students will start school at the regular time. We will be leaving school by coach and returning during the school day so students will finish at the regular time of 3.15pm.
Each Crew is planning a Crew picnic. Crew leaders will be careful to monitor the contents of picnics where food allergies are an issue. Your child should be able to tell you what they have planned to contribute to the picnic.
The weather forecast at the moment is mild but with a chance of showers.
Students will bring home their sponsorship forms today.
Students will need:
- Their regular kit for the day including their water bottle.
- Suncream
- Comfortable trainer style shoes for walking distance on the running track.
- Appropriate clothing for the weather, including a waterproof top.
- Anything they are planning to bring for the picnic.
