On Friday 2^nd February, pupils in T1 demonstrated their love for our furry friends and whipped up a storm for a scrumptious cake sale in aid of Battersea Dogs Home. From classic cupcakes to gooey brownies, the sweet delights attracted customers from our school community, showing   compassion for dogs who were being looked after at Battersea.

Pupils worked together in a mature and industrious manner to plan and run the sale to a very high standard. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to suggest that some even have a future in trading - market trading!

The table and backdrop looked very professional, and all pupils had a role to ensure everything went smoothly. The response from the school community was overwhelming. Pupils and teachers alike supported the sale, eager to contribute to this worthy cause.

T1 showed they can work in a team, handle a public facing role, deal with money and work out how to make a healthy profit. These are transferable skills, and undoubtedly desired in the workplace.

The hard work and dedication paid off, as the cake sale raised an impressive £102 for Battersea Dogs Home. This fantastic achievement is a testament to the children's compassion, and it will undoubtedly make a real difference in the lives of the dogs.

The event instilled valuable life lessons, learning about the importance of teamwork, responsibility, and giving back to the community. They also experienced the joy of using their talents to make a positive impact on the world around them.
