Manor School helps endangered animals.
In our school this year, we're trying to raise £10,000 for our 'charity of the year' - WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature). WWF is an international organization. It protects wildlife around the world. It helps endangered animals like rhinos, tigers, dolphins or pandas. A lot of these animals are disappearing because their habitats are changing, because hunters are killing them and because of pollution.
Here at Manor School, the students of Year 10 are doing a sponsored swim with sharks this year. But don't worry - they aren't swimming with dangerous sharks! The swim is part of a WWF campaign to protect sharks in the sea around Scotland. These sharks are called 'basking sharks' and they aren't dangerous to humans: they just eat plankton!
(wildlife = animals living in the wild)
