00:00 So we're at Woodsetton School today which is a MLD school for pupils with additional
00:04 needs. It's our sponsored walk. Traditionally we've done this over the years to raise money
00:09 for our year 6 activity week. This year we've got the guide dogs involved and we're hoping
00:14 to raise some money for the Guide Dog Foundation. So we've got a really good turnout of families
00:19 that are joining us on the walk today and the children are going to do as many laps
00:23 as they can. I've got to say it's a fantastic day for it isn't it? We've been really lucky
00:27 it didn't look like this this morning. It was a bit bleak over Sedgley so the sun's
00:31 come out for us. Are you joining in as well are you Matt? I'll try and join in and do
00:36 a few laps. I'm not sure how many they managed last year but it was about 60 odd so I don't
00:43 know if I'll do that many. How much do you reckon you'll be raising? How much money do
00:47 you think you'll be raising? Well in the past we've raised up to £3,000 so hopefully a
00:51 similar figure today would be absolutely amazing. It just shows the generosity of our families.
00:56 got a really strong community around the school.
