Huff 'n Puff - this Friday

The Sunnyhills School PTA Huff 'n Puff fun run

is this Friday at 1pm

ALL WELCOME

Come along and support the children, teacher & parents relay team!

There will be hot coffee and hot chocolate available to purchase to keep you warm while you cheer us along! The PTA will receive a $ portion from all sales.

How the Huff 'n Puff works:

Children will come to school in mufti - warm and suitable for running in.
Lunchtime will be earlier from 12 - 12.45pm and there will be no whole school assembly.
Before the start children will be given a race card with their name and room number, they will run with these and once they complete a lap a parent will mark each lap off.
The track will be around the netball courts and senior playground.
Children will sit in house groups with house captains and teachers. House chants have been created and sung during the races.
House Competition - house points tokens will be given out randomly during the event and these then tallied up for the house competition and announced at assembly.
Children will race in year groups - the junior students will have 'runners' to help/encourage them.
At the end of the race each child will be given a bottle of water and their house coloured wristband then sit back with their houses.

The fun run is in Year groups and the order is: Year 3, Year 4, Year 1, Year 2, Year 5, Year 6 - Start time is 1pm with 10 min per race & a 5 min swap around.

Start times, ideally (give or take) will be:

Year 3: 1pm

Year 4: 1.15pm

Year 1: 1.30pm

Year 2: 1.45pm

Year 5: 2pm

Year 6: 2.15pm

Remember for every $10 of sponsorship your child collects gives them 1 entry into the draw to win a Chrome book. This time there is one Chrome Book per syndicate - 3 in total and spot prizes.

All funds raised go towards the roof on the senior courtyard.

The PTA thank you for your continued support

Huff 'n Puff - this Friday

Teachers and Parents sponsored relay team

Who wants to see Mrs Driver and the teachers move it, move it?

So far we only have sponsorship for the teachers (& parents) to complete 40 laps which we can do in our sleep.

Please consider popping onto Wrap it up to sponsor us to do laps for Huff 'n Puff this Friday. We need to have sponsorship in my Thursday 3pm so we can work out how many laps we have to each do.

Please make it challenging for us - this sponsorship will be added to the total that your child brings in with cash or cheque from their individual sponsorship towards the $10 per entry into the draw for the Chromebook (it just is paid first via this system). Thanks for making us S W E A T !

New House Flags have arrived
