This term Reception Class have been learning about "Water", looking at the water cycle and how we receive water we require into our home. As part of their learning, the children discussed "Water Aid" and the great work they do in helping people who have to travel long distances to collect clean water to drink and wash their clothes in the river.
With Water Aid in mind Reception Class thought it would be a great idea, to raise some money by taking part in a sponsored Water Bucket Race Challenge, where they would be in two teams transferring buckets water from a full water tray to an empty water tray in 10 minutes.

There were short speeches from the RHS Director of Education Ruth Evans, Headteacher Pete Boulton and Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. The whole school were present to witness the occasion waving flags enthusiastically.
