What better way to get fit and raise money for our school at the same time? Mary Rose pupils, staff, parents and friends had a great morning walking round our school grounds wearing the most fantastic fancy dress costumes. Pupils and staff were all set the challenge to arrive dressed as a character from a favourite book, film or TV programme, and boy did they go to town. We had everything from Junglebook to our very own team of Pink Ladies, just take a look in our gallery if you would like to se more!
All our pupils took home sponsor forms so that they could do their bit to help raise money for our Specialist Sports College Application. This will help to fund our new PE accommodation, designed to facilitate sensory integration, dance and fitness work. We are working hard to make our dream become a reality, with the application due to go off in mid October.
We all enjoyed our walk and the weather was very kind to us, the sun shone and the rain that was forecasted stayed away! We awarded prizes to the classes that had made the most effort with their costumes – these went to Penguins and Discovery. The award for the most outstanding individual costume went to Callum Hurst who came as Jungle Book! The pupils who completed the most laps were Jodie Sanders, Michael Powell, Graham Culpin and Charlie Stevens followed closely by Bradley Ryder, Jo Andow, Chris Howell and Chris Marsh. Well done all.
