Children in Need 2019

On Friday 15th November, Suttons Primary School took part in the annual Children in Need charity event. The children and staff dressed in spotty clothes and donated £1.

Also to raise as much money as possible for Children in Need, some of the children and staff took part in the 'Guess the name of the bear' competition. They donated £1 to guess the name of the bear.

There were some brilliant names suggested for the white, fluffy bear such as marshmallow, cuddles and spotty.

However, the winning name was Snowy! The name was guessed correctly by 2 children who won the bear along with some sweets.

Thank you to everyone for your kind donations and as a school we have raised £458.92 for Children in Need.
