Cakes, cakes and more cakes for Comic Relief in Year 4!

What a fantastic day year 4 had on Friday raising money for comic relief!
The day started with J3 helping Mrs Marlow make crispie caked to sell in the afternoon whilst J4 set up the morning cake sale from all the cakes kindly sent in by parents. Thankyou so much for your generosity.

Half way through the cake sale J3 became the sellers and after break J4 made crispie cakes with Mrs Marlow.
We also decorated our own fairy cakes with three different colours of icing. All in all we made 300 crispie cakes and decorated 120 fairy cakes for the afternoon.

Here you can see the afternoon cake sale. Sales were slow at first but then several marketing/ selling techniques were put into place which included Miss Davies promoting a Friday night cake for the entire family - 6 cakes for 40p, Mrs Marlow playing the tambouring to round up business and many of the children taking trays of cakes out onto the yard to sell to the parents of the skiers who were waiting to depart!
We are pleased to announce that every single cake sold and the other stalls did extremely well too.

We had fun watching Miss Harwood sitting in her bath of tomatoes.... and even more fun throwing tomatoes over her!
What a great day and over £1200 raised for Comic Relief - da iawn!
