We sold cakes and tradecraft paraphernalia on Friday 2nd December. We sold Rocky Roads and Rice Crispy Christmas Tree Cake, which we made ourselves the day before. We also sold cupcakes and a giant Malteser cake kindly donated by parents. We made lots of money which was extremely good and all the teaching staff were very proud of us.
Serving the drinks was really fun. It was like being a proper waitress. We had to clean up, take peoples orders, make tea, coffee, hot chocolate and squash. There was so much to do, we never got bored.
On the traidcraft stall we sold lots of different things such as bracelets, purses, little decorated pots and pens, Christmas chocolates and spinning tops. We had so many customers it was hard to keep up with all of it.
There was also a quiz for children and parents to take part. We had a lot of them trying their luck, and congratulations to a couple of our children who won a bag of maltesers each for completing the quiz.
The following day, we took our Fairtrade stall and the quiz to the Cockwood School Christmas Fayre which proved to be very popular. We nearly sold all of our products and again had a lot of people taking part in our quiz.
In total over the two events, we raised just under £70.
Well done to the Cockwood School Council for their hard work and to everybody who came along and contributed to this success.
