The big picture: Be an angel

Activities
Children's charity Angels wants UK pre and primary school children
to help 1,000 South African children return to school.

andyThe 'Angels Welly Beat Schools Challenge' will see children perform the chorus of a song written for the occasion and inspired by the old South African gumboot tradition, and the best fundraisers will get a chance to meet CBeebies presenter Andy Day.

Angels has created a 'Pop Up' school within an informal settlement in Vryburg, South Africa, where children are guided back to school through a musical three-step programme, as well as providing them with food, clothing and toiletries.

Participating settings will receive a teacher's pack with a video of Andy demonstrating the chorus and fundraising ideas. Register before 2 April 2015 at www.angels-charity.org.
