This summer, a pride of lions, lionesses and cubs will take to the streets of Yorkshire in aid of Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Walkley Primary School will be part of the little pride and help to raise vital funds to ensure the world-class care, investment in new facilities, equipment and research will continue to transform young lives.

On Monday 23rd March, all pupils took part in Lion Cub Day where our very own Burnaby Cub came to life. Each class came down to the front car park and stuck their Yorkshire leaves on to Burnaby. The pupils wrote and/or drew something on their leaf that they love about Yorkshire or that represents Yorkshire for them. We are incredibly lucky to have such talented pupils with some lovely designs added to their leaves. 

At the start of the process, we sought the support of the artists within our school community to help put together a design concept that was inclusive for all the pupils at Walkley Primary School to be a part of. Throughout the design and creative process, Mr Wells has been a vital part in the creation of Burnaby Cub. A huge thank you to Mr Wells for all your support and help!

Burnaby will be delivered back to the charity on Friday to prepare for the summer trail.

Once we know where Burnaby Cub will be placed, we will share it with the Walkley Primary School community and expect to see lots of pictures when the pupils find Burnaby.
