This year for Children in Need, we will be taking on the Strictly Cha Cha Challenge throughout the week!

The challenge is inspired by BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing and encourages schools across the country to get moving for a great cause. Each class is learning a fun Cha Cha dance routine, building teamwork, confidence, and a lot of sparkle along the way! We are looking forward to bringing this altogether on Friday where we will preform the whole routine together! 🕺💃🪩

On Friday 14th November, children are welcome to come to school in their own clothes or Pudsey-themed merchandise in return for a small donation to Children in Need.

Every penny raised helps Children in Need support thousands of children and young people across the UK. The charity funds local projects that:

• Provide safe spaces for children who are struggling.
• Offer mental health support and counselling.
• Help families facing poverty or difficult circumstances.
• Give children opportunities to learn new skills, build confidence, and have fun.

Thank you for helping us make a difference — together, we can help every child have a brighter future. 💛
