For Red Nose day this year (Friday 19th March) we are saying the children can wear what they want to school.

We are also going to hold a competition and ask you to design a red nose. They can be as creative as you like - draw / paint / 3-D model etc. Remember, noses come in all shapes and sizes! They will be judged on Friday morning.

Let's have a bit of fun, and as the saying goes ... do something funny for money.
