Children walk miles for charity in their wellies

Everyone at Broom Cottages Primary School had fun last Wednesday as staff and children took part in a Welly Walk.

The event was organised to raise money for the charity Farm Africa. Children went to school in their wellies and the walk took place in the school grounds.

They followed a marked route and collected a stamp every time they completed the circuit. Classes then worked out how far they had collectively walked. For example, Class 2G walked the equivalent distance of Ferryhill to Huddersfield!

“It was a fantastic afternoon when everybody enjoyed some exercise, the fresh air and chatting to friends while fundraising at the same time,” said a school spokesperson.

Broom Cottages’ Harvest Festival takes place on Friday 20th October and will raise more money for the charity.
