Ignis Charity Day Summary
The Ignis Charity day focused on World Sight Day and at King’s Hill, we raised money for the charity: The Royal Society for Blind Children.
On the day, all the children wore the colour red and bought in £1 for the charity. Throughout the day, we completed exciting activities to help us understand what World Sight Day is and why it is important. We read a story, played word games and we designed our own glasses frames.
As the Ignis House captain, I got to help out setting up the Ignis charity day activity in the hall. This was a blindfolded agility course. We set the hall up with cones, benches and blindfolds. The house captain and vice captains got to help the younger children complete the agility course. We timed each house team in each year group to see which house team completed the course first.
Overall, it was an amazing charity day, the house captains and I really enjoyed helping the other children in the school. Also, seeing them having a good time to raise money for a good cause was great!
