Class 11A Combe Pafford Shoot out

Fresh from their trip to Imprezza Academy in Kenya, Combe Pafford pupils raise £40 towards the school and plan to raise even more by the end of term. Well Done!!

Take a look at their note to Catherine, who runs the academy below.  

Bhumika 10k run

“Hujambo Catherine,
Here at Combe Pafford as a school. We as class of 11A have done a wet sponge shootout for the whole school to mock us with their throws. Where pupils and staff have had opportunities to pay £1 to throw their “best” efforts at all of us. And we’d like to say in this 30 minutes of chaos we have raised almost £40 for imprezza academy. And we shall send over this fundraise once we’ve raised even more money.”
