“Go the Extra Mile”

Dear Parents/Guardians

This year, Oldfield Primary Schoolhas decided to get involved and help raise money for Sport Relief 2014!

As one of the UK’s biggest fundraising events, Sport Relief brings the entire nation together to get active, raise money and change lives.

To do our bit and raise money for Sport Relief, on Friday 21st March 2014 we will be holding the following events:

  • Sports Relief Mile for Charity
  • Sports Relief Wrist Band Sale
  • Sports Relief Cake Bake
  • Sports Relief Penalty Shoot-Out

The whole school will be participating in the Oldfield Mile where we will be doing 8 laps around the field. It can be done in the pupils’ own choice of exercise, for example: walking, running, hopping, skipping etc. A sponsor form is attached to this letter and any money collected will go straight to the great causes that Sports Relief supports. Please return all sponsorship forms and money to the school in the week commencing 31st March 2014 so that we can calculate how much money has been raised in total.

Sports Relief Wrist Bands will be sold in the playground before and during school at a cost of £1 for the whole week leading up to Sports Relief. This wristband may be worn at school for the duration of the week and the following week leading up to the Easter holidays. As a benefit of buying a wristband it will gain your child entry into the school in non-school uniform on Friday 21st March 2014. If they wish they can wear the sports kit of their favourite sports team.

A Cake Bake Sale will be held after school on the same day. The theme for cakes is anything sporty. Please contribute by bringing a cake to school on the morning of Friday 21st March 2014.

The Penalty Shoot-Out will take place at lunchtime and anyone is welcome to participate. A fee of 50p is required to take part.

All the money raised will be given to Sport Relief to help people living incredibly tough lives, both at home in the UK and across the world's poorest countries.

We appreciate all your donations and hope you can be a part of the excitement at the heart of our school community.

Many thanks
