Red Nose Day

Throughout this term's Citizenship lessons our students have been preparing and understanding the fundraising Project for Comic Relief a.k.a Red Nose Day.

The students set a target of raising £200 but currently the total stands at £380, which is amazing!

Below you can find words from two students, Joy and Gin about their experiences in Red Nose Day 2011.

Red nose day is the day you do something funny to raise money for charity. Red nose day is coming soon on 18th, March, 2011. At Alexanders International School, students arranged some activities to raise money. They started earlier because 18th of March is the end of the term. On Sunday, the 13th of March, the school arranged the water balloon fight in the morning. They prepared whole bunch of water balloon and students had to pay for each balloon to join the water balloon fight. They enjoyed a lot and they didn’t hesitate to spend money for the charity. Also, in the afternoon, students had to do the cross-country and were paid for the charity per each lap. The interesting thing was that boys had to dress up in girls and girls had to dress up in pyjamas and wear ugly makeup during running. Students all had the great fun and the raise of money was successful.
On Tuesday, there will be more activities at Alexanders International School. There will be no prep and students will do their own sponsorship. Some students will wax their legs and shave their hair, spray their hair in red and even stay silent for few hours. Moreover, school will sell cakes during the break time. - Joy.

Yesterday — Red nose day, which allows us to do crazy things to raise money for charity. And the money goes to Africa, West Asia and the place covered by poverty and injuries.
The weather was fantastic yesterday, it seemed that we would have a nice day, and certainly we had.
First of all, the school organized a water balloon fight on the football field and almost all of the students took part in. It was brilliant, although some of us became drowned rats; everyone had fun through the game and laughs.
2 hours after the lunch, we had a cross country. But unusually, that time, all the boys made up as girls, and girls dressed very ugly. And the rules changed yesterday, the more round you have finished, the more money you raise. Some students even finished 3 rounds of the cross country run, I’m really happy for the results they’ve achieved.
The last part of the activities was a basketball tournament. - Gin

A big Thank You goes out to all of the students and staff who took part. Especially Miss Rosaleen who planned the whole event.
