PUPILS at a Thelwall school are celebrating after a visit from Pudsey Bear helped them to one of their greatest fundraising achievements to date.
The youngsters at Thelwall Community Junior School were among hundreds of thousands across the UK who pulled out all the stops to help disadvantaged children this year, raising almost £300 for BBC Children in Need in the process.
The school held a special assembly to mark the occasion, with the highlights including cake sales, beat the goalie, a dress-up day and the chance to soak a teacher.
Thelwall was one of 56 schools to get special resources from Lloyds Bank, partner to BBC Children in Need, to make the day as special as possible as part of their ‘Best Assembly Ever programme, which aims to give pupils the chance to design their own perfect assembly to celebrate their fundraising achievements.
