St Thomas of Canterbury School in Chester gets into Comic Relief spirit

Mar 24 2011 Chester Chronicle

CHILDREN at St Thomas of Canterbury Bluecoat CE Junior School got into the Comic Relief spirit.

The school held a red-themed non uniform day and pupils were encouraged to wear their red noses for the day.

Teacher Paula Howard-Jones compiled a Comic Relief joke book with favourite jokes submitted by the children. Top contributors were Jemma Holton and Lucy McHugh who each earned a ‘do something funny for money’ certificate. The finished book was then sold on Red Nose Day.

The school also hosted a cake sale staffed by teachers and pupils, with hundreds of cakes donated by parents to add to funds for the appeal.

A group of musical Year 6 girls raised £162.30 by busking for three hours in Chester city centre, while Year 6 boys Tom and Dan Francis and Callum Bishop were preparing for a 6.5-mile night hike with the 8th Chester Scout group.
