I cannot believe it is this time of year again, but we will all be having fun to raise money for Children in Need this week; the televised show is on Friday 13th November. It is a time when children are encouraged to think about others who are less fortunate than themselves.
Everyone is encouraged to challenge themselves to raise money, and this year we are asked to take on a challenge inspired by the number 26. On the BBC Children in Need website there is a nature hunt with 26 items for children to cross off. Children are being asked to join the Strictly 26 Step Dance Challenge. Owain Wyn Evans from radio 2 is taking on an epic challenge where he is cycling through all four UK nations. He will be cycling nearly 400 miles through Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, and Wales – wow! Children and school staff will be wearing Pudsey ears, t-shirts and other Pudsey accessories. There will be baking sales, colouring competitions, and other fun activities.
Children will also be told how the money they raise will be spent, and some of these stories are hard to hear, but it is important that our children know that there are others who are not as lucky as them and who need our help.
Have a fun time.
