Welcome Walk - Makayla Bett

On the 8^th September just a few weeks ago, we took part in our second welcome walk for your primary school to raise money for the resources you need. Walking to school that morning was pretty embarrassing for me and my friends as we dressed up as where’s Wally for the walk. As soon as we got to school we headed straight for our Information Centre where then people were sent to collect all the money raised from the trip. I stayed at Information Centre and collected the rest of the money with the rest of my Wally friends. Once all the money was collect we started to count all the money, I was very impressed by all the money that we were given to give to you’s at Welcome Primary School.

 

After we waited for an hour in the Café doing each other’s face paints and raising more money we headed towards the Golf Buggies at the PE Base. I was very excited about going on the golf buggies. Most of us after this head to get chairs and went to the Beveridge Park to set up for the walk in the afternoon. During lunch we had to stay out to watch all the chairs and stick all the stickers onto them so people knew the direction they were going.

 

At about half 1 the walk started and I heard the bag pipes from my station which was station C which was about half way for the 5k walk. I Rhiannon and Cara were all at this station waiting for people to come round so we could encourage them to keep going and to keep them going the right way. As well as being with Rhiannon and Cara, we also had our school photographer at our station who took loads of great photos from the day which we will share some of them with you. After the amazing walk and all the enthusiasm from all the school we started to pack up, this was one of the best parts of the day as Mr Curry one our year heads came to pick us up on the golf buggies, we then drove past our year head who got on the back of the buggy with a table and loads of chairs and as we started to drive he nearly fell off (picture to follow). After being on the buggies we headed back to school were we put all the chairs away and finished up for the day.
