There were cakes for good causes, when Gaywood Primary took part in this year’s Comic Relief appeal on Friday 20 March.

The children held a Red Nose Day Bake Sale, which was organised and run by the pupils on the School Council, with cakes provided by staff, parents, and carers.

It was also a colourful occasion, with pupils and staff alike swapping their usual attire to dress in red for the day.

Our  school, which is a member of the West Norfolk Academies Trust, participates in the annual fundraiser every year, and was hoping to raise £300 for the charity this time round.

“The pupils really enjoy doing events like these, because it gives them a good opportunity to support charities and help others in need,” said Abigail King, who is Year 5 Teacher and School Council Lead at Gaywood.

“They get very excited to find out how much money we have raised. £300 would be amazing!”

Other WNAT schools supporting Red Nose Day included Clenchwarton and Walpole Cross Keys primaries, along with Smithdon High School in Hunstanton.
