Water walk

 

Water Walk

From the 16^th June onwards classes will be taking part in a water walk for charity.

This will be as part of the Year of Jubilee and another event to mark the centenary of St Joseph’s Church.

The children will be walking laps carrying a bottle of water they feel comfortable with but is also a challenge. To mark the church’s centenary and to set a challenge, the children will be aiming for 100 laps (as a class or group) of the field or playground.

All the money raised goes to our school charity the Emmaus (Clifton Diocese Schools) project. This event will also bring an end to our charity work for this project. Please if possible make a donation to this charity event by handing in a donation with your child or there is an option to make a donation by School Gateway. If you select ‘payments’ from the account and then from the payments list choose: ’St Joseph’s Uganda Charity’.

For more information on the charity see our school website https://www.st-josephs-pri.bristol.sch.uk/Clifton-Diocese-Schools-Project/
