Mrs Anne Carter, Headteacher at Windsor First School, said: “We wanted our pupils to learn about being a member of the community, and helping out an important local cause. The children really enjoyed raising money for the RNLI, and had fun along the way.”
During a fundraiser day at Windsor First School a volunteer from the RNLI visited to show youngsters how to keep safe by the sea.
Pupils from dressed up as sailors and pirates and were allowed to wear trainers in a fundraising day at the school. Nearly £130 was raised for the lifesaving charity.
Children also got to see what their efforts were helping to pay for, with a special trip to the lifeboat station for a look around. Many of the youngsters came away enthusiastic about volunteering when they get older.
