Get snap happy for Cbeebie star

CBEEBIES star Andy Day will visit schools with the most creative Odd Socks Day ideas.

After launching the campaign in 2017, the presenter wants this year’s event to be even bigger.

A spokesman for the organisers said: “We would love schools to send us a photo or video that best captures how they participat­ed in Odd Socks Day.”

You can post snaps or video footage on Twitter with the hashtags #AntiBullyi­ngWeek and #OddSocks before November 20.

Andy, who will pick the three best schools, told us: “Last year Odd Socks Day made a lot of the kids I met feel more positive and willing to speak about things that were bothering them.

“They started to feel stronger within themselves, which was nice to see.

“A lot of parents got in touch and thanked us too. It helped open up a conversati­on between them and their children.

“Some of the kids had things like scars or birthmarks they had been self-conscious about. But Odd Socks Day brought those issues out into the open and parents were so grateful for that.”

Last year’s Odd Socks Day raised £25,000.
