Putting on the style for Pudsey

There was a lot of bear behaviour across South Holland when fundraisers did their bit for Children in Need.

Staff and pupils at St Bartholomew’s Primary School in West Pinchbeck dressed in pyjamas and onesies to raise cash for the national appeal.
They topped £200 by selling merchandise as well as holding the school’s non-uniform day.
Ivy Reynolds (8), who attends Spalding Parish Day School, raised £50 by creating pictures for family and friends.
Members of Holbeach Rainbows group raised £105 by holding a sponsored dance and taking part in glowstick bowling. All the participants received a sparkly Pudsey Bear badge.
Almost £40m was donated directly to the charity as a result of the BBC’s annual telethon show presented on Friday evening.
At University Academy Holbeach, sixth form prefects held a cake sale and there was an inter-form quiz. Activities were held all week and there was a drumathon led by Filip Galkowski and in total more than £1,400 was raised.
