Sponsored Walk
On Friday 29th September, the whole of year 7 did their annual sponsored walk. The pupils walked one lap around the Handsworth Park totalling 1 mile. This was in aid for collecting money that will be donated to the British Red Cross who are providing aid for the recent natural disasters in Libya and Morocco. The staff supervising the walk enjoyed themselves and we are sure the pupils did too!

On Friday 21st September, the whole of year 7 went on a sponsored walk around Handsworth Park. When we had finished registration, we went to ‘Big School’ to meet before the walk. We left the building in five-minute intervals to stop commotion in the park. After we’d entered Handsworth Park, we followed a blue line painted on the floor which was one mile long. It was nice to see all of the wildlife and the natural landscapes. Once our form had finished, we walked back to school and sat in the main hall. The teachers gave us all a chocolate as a prize for completing the walk. We all left the hall and went to our period two lesson after everyone was back. I’m so happy with how much money I raised. I’m sure it will help a lot of people.

On the day of the walk in Handsworth park, all of the year 7 forms first assembled in the hall. Each form did the walk one by one so one form went and then another followed until all forms had gone. Overall, the walk was very enjoyable and everyone had a bunch of fun talking with their friends and completing it was very relaxing and completely stress free.

In Year 7, we participated in a sponsored walk to help raise funds for charity. At approximately 9:15, we set off to complete our walk around Handsworth Park. The walk was about 1 mile long and we completed it in around 25 minutes. Overall, the sponsored walk was a fun experience and it felt good to know that we were helping someone and that we could be saving a life.

This sponsored walk felt rewarding as we’re not only benefitting ourselves, but to charities for people in need. Doing this walk will help give people in need the opportunity to achieve what they want in life. We had the opportunity to ask for sponsorship from parents / guardians or any friends. After the deadline to donate, all the money will be sent to charity.
