About Hawridge & Cholesbury C of E School Fund
Hawridge and Cholesbury School Fund aims to make the school a better place for children to learn.
Pupils at Hawridge and Cholesbury CE Primary School near Chesham are following the star from Buckinghamshire to Bethlehem to raise money for a shepherd's hut to give themselves more room to learn during the coronavirus pandemic.
Led by two virtual woolly sheep mascots, Kith and Kin, students and their families can clock the kilometres they walk or swim between half-term and Christmas as they aim to cover the 3,090 miles (4,973 km) from Hawridge to the Holy Land.
The primary school aims to raise £28,000 to pay for the wooden outdoor building, which is being built by one of the parents and will stand in the grounds of the rural school, enabling teachers and pupils to beat the squeeze.
As well as keeping fit, the walk is a great chance for children to learn about the culture and traditions of each country they walk through.
