Sports Relief 2012

The children have spent the last fortnight taking part in various activities to raise money for Sports Relief. What a fantastic job they've all done! Year 6 ran a dodgeball match, all in fancy dress, something red or sports gear. Year5/6 held their own Mario Kart Race here at St Josephs! Lots of effort went into making the costumes at home and then using small karts they raced one another around the hall, endeavouring to do as many laps as possible. Year 5 ran a mile (between the class)three legged, also in fancy dress, something red or sports gear.  Mikenagh was brave enough to do it in a full three piece suit, whilst Mia had a fantastic, homemade Mini Mouse Outfit! Year 4, Year 3, Year 2 and Year 1 ran a mile in fancy dress, something red or sports gear. Maya completed the course in a penguin costume, whilst Jake managed to complete the mile in a Darf Vader outfit, accompanied by a red wig for Sports Relief. Reception has some amazing fancy dress costumes too! We had Spiderman, Batman, Power Rangers, Fairies all doing their very best to run, skip, walk as many laps of the playgroundas they could. Many managed to do the mile! The Sports Relief fortnight came to a climax with a fantastic cake sale on Friday, with the children themselves taking on full responsibility for organising it all. Didn't they do a fantastic job?! We definitely have some young apprentices in the making! They advertised the event, organised the produce and all the staff and took and counted the money, practising their maths skills along the way. They made an absolutely fantastic total of £73! A brilliant achievement!  This will be added to all of the sponsorship money once counted on Friday. Watch this space to find out what the over total is! Well done to all of the children for their special contribution to Sports Relief 2012, it was a fantastic fortnight!!Enjoy looking at all of the photos of the children in action!
