Hampton Vale Primary Academy welcomes Pudsey Bear and BBC Radio Cambridgeshire
Hampton Vale Primary Academy is incredibly proud of its children and families for their enthusiasm and generosity throughout the week.
Children at Hampton Vale Primary Academy had a week to remember as they came together to support BBC Children in Need, with a surprise visit from Pudsey Bear himself!
On Wednesday 11th November, the school welcomed Pudsey Bear alongside BBC Radio Cambridgeshire for a memorable morning filled with smiles and laughter.
Children from Nursery through to Year 6 had the opportunity to meet the much-loved bear on the school playground, where they enjoyed high-fives, hugs and plenty of interaction with Pudsey. His arrival brought huge smiles to children’s faces, with every year group getting the chance to join in the fun.
During the visit, a number of lucky children, alongside Miss Caswell, were also interviewed by BBC Radio Cambridgeshire. The interviews were broadcast on Thursday 12th November, giving listeners a glimpse into the memorable occasion. The school will also feature on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire again on Thursday 3rd December, this time as part of a Christmas feature.
The fundraising continued on Friday 13th November as the whole school came together to support BBC Children in Need. Pupils helped raise money by purchasing Children in Need merchandise, which they proudly wore throughout the day.
Across the school, children took part in a variety of fun activities while learning more about the charity and how the money raised supports children and young people facing challenges across the UK.
The week provided a valuable opportunity for pupils to reflect on kindness, generosity and the importance of helping others, while making lasting memories.
Hampton Vale Primary Academy is incredibly proud of its children and families for their enthusiasm and generosity throughout the week.
A huge thank you goes to Pudsey Bear and BBC Radio Cambridgeshire for helping make the occasion one to remember!
