PUPILS at Ballard School embarked on a myriad of charity challenges inspired by Captain Sir Tom Moore to celebrate what would have been his 101st birthday.
Children across every age group at the independent New Forest School joined in the fundraising fun, finding a host of ways to complete a 'Captain Tom 100' challenge, with many taking part across the first bank holiday weekend in May.
Their combined efforts smashed their fundraising target and over £800 was raised for The Captain Tom Foundation to support people facing bereavement and champion education and equality.
Challenges included a 100-minute whole-school Zumba dancing class, with pupils taking turns to join in their 'bubbles' to complete 100-continuous minutes, a whole-school coin collection, swimming 100 widths of the school pool, and undertaking 100 acts of kindness.
