A Fun Sporty Day at ETJS!

Sport Relief is back! The whole of the UK came together to get active, raise cash and change lives on Friday.

Sport Relief has a unique history of dedicated people doing extraordinary things to make a difference - from David Walliams' swim across the Channel to Eddie Izzard's amazing marathon a day around the UK.

Paul Duligall, an ex-pupil of ETJS (and whose Auntie is Mrs. Oakley in the office) recently took part in rugby player Lawrence Dallaglio's Cycle Slam and cycled frosm Paris to Twickenham to raise money for Sport Relief. He raised over £1,500 and Prince Harry was there to congratulate the cyclists at the end of the journey.

All the money raised by the public is spent by Comic Relief to help transform the lives of poor and vulnerable people both at home and across the world's poorest countries.

Your fundraising cash might be spent helping children in Africa get into primary school or suppoting an older person in the UK to meet other poople so that they feel less lonely.

Here at ETJS we had a fun day of activities which the children enjoyed. The activities included:

  • Miss Ward teaching dance to the children
  • Fastest pupil around the adventure trail
  • 12 laps around the field
  • Finding out about famous sports personalities
  • Hula hooping
  • Sports quiz

The current total of our fund raising is £353.54 all of which will be donated to Sports Relief.

Well done to all the children for taking part in such an exciting day.
