Red Nose Day 2013

Today our children's school celebrated Red Nose Day. The official date for the day is the 15'th of March, but as the school have other activities planned for tomorrow, they decided to do it today.

All the happy people everywhere, and the sunny weather made it a perfect day! Couldn't be more lucky with the weather, as the rest of the week's been freezing cold with snow showers!

Parents had baked all sorts of scrumptious cakes for the students to sell to raise money for people in Africa and the UK who are are living in poverty and facing terrible injustice.

Face painting, shoe-shine service, sale of toys and books and many other joyful activities made it a fun-filled day for both children and parents :)

Just a few of the many cakes

The face painting girls ready for 'customers' :)

The shoe-shine boys in full action :)

It wasn't always easy to keep the noses on :)

Even the fire brigade popped in, to the delight of the children :)

All in all we've had a very happy day :)

Info about Red Nose Day;

Red Nose Day is a UK-wide fundraising event organised by Comic Relief every two years. On Red Nose Day everyone, including celebrities, is encouraged to cast inhibitions aside, put on a Red Nose and do something funny for money.
It culminates in a night of cutting-edge comedy and moving documentary films on BBC One. Red Nose Day unites the entire nation in trying to make a difference to the lives of countless people across Africa and the UK who are facing terrible injustice or living in desperate poverty.
