After 18 months of not being able to hold events we need to try to raise some funds.

The "School's Out" virtual balloon race, supporting a wide range of charities, will "launch" from Manaus in Brazil at 12 noon on Saturday 17th July, and you can buy balloons up to half an hour before that time. You can choose the shape, colour(s), and pattern of your balloon, write a name or message on it, and alter the thickness of rubber and amount of helium which affect how it "flies" (different weather patterns at different heights), and then watch its progress on maps of South America, improving your knowledge of geography as it travels. All totally imaginary (except the weather data), no litter or harm to wildlife, no use of the earth's precious helium, just a very entertaining computer programme!

We are offering prizes for the first 3 placings in The Friends of Clayton le Woods School, these have been donated by local businesses.
