Year 2 Cake Sale

10 October 2016

Year 2 children and their parents spent Thursday night baking cakes to sell at our cake sale to raise money for Help for Heroes. The children’s goal was to raise £30. They sold cakes to Pre-Prep and Prep at break time, with the help of the amazing mascot - the Help for Heroes’ bear - escorting each class to the sale cake. The Year 2 children have raised £448; this has been a fantastic event supported wholeheartedly by the entire year group. Well done, Year 2.
