(You’re welcome) Do something funny formoney Friday 15th March heralds a new round of hilarity with Red Nose Day. This year there are three different, and very silly, ‘character’ noses to collect. And as always, there are all sorts of ways you can get involved and raise money – from dance-a-thons and sponsored joke-telling to quizzes and quirky cake sales. Even Blue Peter will be turning red for the day, and the presenters are challenging schools to do the same. With £1.5 billion raised for Comic Relief since its inception, Red Nose Day this year will also be honouring the amazing fundraisers who make it happen, with the launch of the Nosey Awards. There will be five awards up for grabs, including two just for schools and young people. You can find out more about the Noseys at tinyurl.com/tp-Noseys Register on the Comic Relief website now to access a fundraising pack and lots of other handy resources: tinyurl.com/tp-RND24 SCIENCE SHENANIGANS Join Mwaksy Mudenda and zoologist Yussef Rafik as they race against time to escape a top-secret lab during this British Science Week 2024 Live Lesson.
