Last week on Friday, Key Stage 1 and 2 children from Chilton Academy took part in the school’s annual Halloween sponsored walk around Chilton.
“The children looked fantastic in their costumes and loved every minute of it,” said chair of Chilton Academy Friends, Hazel Coulthard.
“We took time to wave at the residents of Chilton Care Home as we walked past and to the people who came out to watch and cheer us on.
“Whilst the older children did their walk, our Nursery and Reception children did their own little walk around the outside of the school building.
“We would like to thank everyone who came out to support us and dropped money into our buckets. You donated an amazing £117.51.
“This will go towards the cost of taking the children to the pantomime at Durham Gala Theatre in December.
“Thank you to all those who contributed.”
