Bedales Pre-Prep Pupils take part in Fun Run for charities

PETERSFIELD, U.K. - June 18, 2014 - PRLog -- Pupils at Bedales Pre-Prep, Dunannie, enjoyed a fun run in aid of the charities ‘Farms for City Children’ and the Minstead Study Centre.

Children from nursery age to eight years old dressed in a variety of costumes for the ‘seashore’ theme cheered on by parents and teachers. To support the fundraising effort, the Parent’s organisation ‘Friends of Dunannie’ ran a very popular cake stall.

Commenting on the Fun Run, Jo Webbern, Head of Dunannie, said: “The children very much enjoyed the day running in their various seashore guises – from mermaids to pirates. We were pleased to be able to raise money for two causes close to the hearts of the Dunannie community. Farms for Children was set up by children’s author Michael Morpurgo and his wife to enable children who live in urban areas the opportunity to stay at farms in the countryside and experience the benefits of outdoor learning. Minstead Study Centre in Hampshire is an outdoor learning centre for local children covering subjects linked to sustainability and the importance of protecting our environment for the future.”
