What's with the Mascot

Time of the year when money are raised through donations of private individuals who may organised events to raise funds for charities working with children in the UK. It is now better known as Pudsey Children in need. The kids got involve with it through their British School here. The initiative which started since 1985 uses 'Pudsey', a teddy bear with a bandage over one eye, as the mascot.

Here's what Faris wrote ........ the school raised about 5000 Euros this year through Fame academy and dance competition in the school. The Fame academy is a competition where people audition in singing, acting or dancing. If chosen they will get someone to help them on their performance. The Fame academy was last night and to vote you pay 2 euros. From the voting they raised about 4000 euros. The dance competetion was this afternoon. Every class from year 8 and 7 (14 classes) performed a dance they made.They could ask a year 11-13 to choreographed their dance. There were 2 judges, an English teacher and a professional dancer from England. There was a winner for year 7 and 8 and an overall winner. The year 8's usually win because they had experience in the Pudsey dancing competition. Suprisingly my class 7JF won, choreographed by Fiz and friends! See the video.
