The district will be glowing with red noses tomorrow as people prepare to do something ‘funny for money’ in aid of Comic Relief.

The fun began early at Shipley College as staff and students shook things up yesterday wearing fancy dress and throwing some shapes to record a Harlem Shake video.

A host of primary schools across the district will be getting involved in the fundraising spirit including Idle Primary School which will be holding ‘The Great Idle Bake Off’.

Brenda Kimber, mum of winner of the BBC2 show The Great British Bake Off Ed Kimber, who is a former pupil of the school, will call in to judge parents’ double divine chocolate cakes to help raise cash for Comic Relief.

Meanwhile, staff and pupils at Swain House Primary School will be dressing in their pyjamas for the day and will get their dancing shoes on to a sponsored Gangnam Style performance in the playground.

Phoenix Special School in Keighley will be holding a bounce-a-thon, and will also be selling noses, having a funky hair day and a big cake sale.

Also in Keighley, daring teachers at Riddlesden St Mary’s Primary School are taking part in an ‘I’m a Teacher, Get me out of Here’ challenge.

Teachers will have to collect stars from various bowls of food, using only their mouths. Then the teacher with the least stars will have to eat the grubs.

Marshfield Primary School also has a fun-filled day lined up for children, parents and staff.

Everyone is coming in non-uniform with the theme of wacky hair and feet. Also throughout the day all classes will be competing against one another in a One Direction-inspired dance challenge.

Comic Relief is a major charity in the UK which aims to create a world free from poverty, and runs an annual Red Nose Day event.

The team at Keelham Farm Shop in Thornton, Bradford, will don pyjamas throughout the day and are daring customers to do the same.

They will also be offering a special home-made red nose pizza with 50p per pizza sale going towards the charity.

The University of Bradford is challenging all budding astronomers to join in the fun for Comic Relief, searching the cosmos for red noses.

They are inviting the public to search through a bank of 100,000 images for clues before taking their very own image with the Bradford Robotic Telescope to submit to the red nose competition gallery. Visit telescope.org/ rednoseday for details.

Bakers at The Loafer in Station Road, Ilkley, will be contributing money from sales of bread on Red Nose Day to the appeal. It will give 20p from every sale of 45p multi-seed loaves on the day to the charity.

Nessfield Primary School in Keighley will hold a community clean-up day tomorrow.

The “ground force” day will see the area around it cleaned up by pupils, parents and carers.

Activities will also include planting and model making. To mark Red Nose Day pupils will be making a “garden joke book” filled with green-fingered gags. It will go on sale with proceeds going to Comic Relief.

Parents or carers who want to take part can go to their child’s classroom at the start of the day.
