Children at Cockburn Ingram Road Academy in Holbeck celebrated Children in Need on Friday 14 November.
The day kicked off with a surprise visit from the big yellow bear himself.
Children were encouraged to come dressed to school in something spotty to raise money for charity. During the day, children took part in craft activities and learned about the purpose of the charity.
Overall, the children raised £147.55 towards the great cause.
Mrs Blasket, Deputy Headteacher, acknowledged the children’s fundraising efforts:
“We are very pleased with our children’s fundraising efforts. One of our school’s values is responsibility, and our children certainly demonstrated this today in their efforts to raise money for others.”
