(Vi)Kings of the sea

Picture by David Riley
During the Summer term, Wood Ley Primary School in Stowmarket, Suffolk, held a non-uniform day to raise money for Poole lifeboat station. The theme of the day was ‘The sea’ and the children arrived dressed in a variety of costumes related to all things maritime. Grandson of Rod Jenkins (one of Poole’s deputy launching authorities), Nathan dressed up as ‘the sea’ and his school friend Jared as a Viking. In true Viking tradition the schoolchildren raided their piggy banks and raised the magnificent amount of £156.20. At the recent lifeboat station open day, Nathan (pictured centre left) and Jared (centre right) presented a cheque to Poole Coxswain Jonathan Clark (left), with proud granddad looking on.Thank you to all the children at Wood Ley for your support and efforts to raise this money.
