News for Everyone
Red Nose Day - We in the Fundraising Committee believe that Comic Relief is an extremely important charity to support. Red Nose Day is on Friday 18th March and we have decided to punish some of the Hillcrest Staff with a Punishanator!
If you would like to punish a teacher, we are asking for £1 to spin the spinners to randomly select a punishment and a teacher, OR, if you would like to choose the teacher and the punishment, we are charging £2.
The teachers up for punishment are: Mr Boyle, Mr Mac, Mr Barham, Mr Taylor, Mrs Howells, Ms Sharples and Mrs Loader.
And on the Punishments menu are: dancing the waltz with another teacher, ice down tops, pie in the face or having a wet sponge thrown at them.
All children are welcome to come dressed in red as well to celebrate this amazing charity.
The teachers will take their punishment in front of the whole school the following week (Mr Mac better watch out!)
