Staff and students at Oathall have answered BBC Children in Need’s call to Do Your Thing and help raise money to transform the lives of disadvantaged children and young people right here in the UK.
Throughout this week students will be attending special house assemblies which will consider the theme of giving and the work of the Children in Need charity. The theme for this year’s Children in Need is “Spotacular”. Deputy headteacher Mrs Gabrielides, has arranged for each house to stage a staff & student hula hoop challenge in each assembly – with some spotacular results!
Furthermore, each house will be organising fundraising activities on Friday 18 November.
