Story
Our children have been attending St John’s Community Primary School for just over a year now. We really love the school and this September I was blessed with the opportunity to teach year 1 there on a part time basis. When the children arrive in year 1 they are used to learning both inside a classroom and in an outdoor learning environment. So we have the job of helping them to transition from learning through play, to a more formal set up. We are fortunate to have a quad area attached to the classroom which over the last few weeks we’ve transformed by adding a bark play area, a role play kitchen, writing area and water play area. This was all put together on a tight budget using mostly donated items and voluntary help. The children now have a place to learn outside however it is very much a fair weather area as when it rains the decking gets very slippery and in summer months there is little shade. We would love the children to have the opportunity to use this amazing resource in all seasons but to do this we’ll need to install a cover to provide both shade and some protection from the rain. We’ve looked into several options including shade sails and more solid structures also. The only thing holding us back is having the funds to cover the project.
So myself, my husband (Gavin) and Dad (Paul) have decided to run the 10K night trail at Blickling Hall on Friday 12th October to try and raise funds to make this idea a reality. We‘re well aware that most schools are in the same position regarding cuts to funding but we felt this was something we could do to help impact children’s learning not just this year but in years to come also. Gavin enjoys running but will be attempting this on a previous knee injury. Dad likes to run, but this will be his first 10K for a while. I, however, am not a runner at all so will just be hoping to make it over the finish line in one piece!
Thank you for taking the time to read our story, it would be amazing if you could donate something towards our cause. Equally a shout of encouragement would also be much appreciated if you see us running around the local area in a vague attempt to get ready for this!
Thank you so much, we really appreciate every penny donated :-)

6 years agoSo we’ve got less than a week to go and unfortunately we’re now down to 2 runners. My husband, Gavin, has picked up an infection in his leg, so isn’t allowed to run. But myself and Dad are still training hard! We went out in the dark last night to practice running with head torches and did some off road also. It was a lot more challenging than I anticipated but we still managed to get to 10K in just over an hour. Bring on Friday! Thank you so much for sponsoring us, it makes the painful post run legs much more bearable! Thank you!!
