Doggy Dash!

On Tuesday 16th July we had our Sports Day. At the end of all the races and activities all of the children took part in a 'Doggy Dash' in aid of Guide Dogs.
 
But before that there was Sports Day. We had a variety of activites, both individual and team. All of our VI pupils took part, inclusive sport is a very important part of the provision for children with a visual imapirment.
There was some superb hula-hooping....

 
...and some very motivated sack racing!



It was a gloriously sunny and hot day, so a very important part of the afternoon was staying in the shade and having a cold ice lolly!

Then...the Doggy Dash. The children had some 'dog ears' to wear while racing (kindly lent to us from The Wildren School) and all had fun tearing up the race track on all fours!


It was a great afternoon of fun and fitness that raised over £300 for Guide Dogs. We would all like to thank all the children of Kings Copse for their enthusiasm and all those who raised sponsorship money for their generosity. We will now be able to sponsor our new Guide Dog, Harley.
Thank You

  2. It was a great afternoon and the doggy dash was a really fun ending. What a great total for sponsoring Harley. Well done to all who were involved in organising it! Also well done to Wildern for having so many doggie ears and lending them out!
