Wear your Wellies Day

HIGHNAM C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL SUPPORT THE WEAR YOUR WELLIES CAMPAIGN

Today two classes joined the "Wear your Wellies for Wildlife" campaign to raise vital funds for Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.

Highnam Primary School has joined with other local schools and businesses to help this worthwhile local project. This term our topic has been all about ‘Creatures and their Habitats’ and the pupils wanted to help the animals they have been studying. The idea was simple; pupils were asked to pay £1 and wear their wellies for the day. We also organized a welly throwing competition, which was keenly contested by over 50 pupils.

The money raised will help to build otter holts, stag beetle hotels and nesting boxes for dormice, bats and birds in Gloucestershire.

Thank you to parents and pupils as the two classes raised £43 to help the
