To mark the European Day of Languages last Monday, students took part in a baking competition with a distinctly international flavour.
The difficult task of judging went to Mr Penn, Mrs Hoyle, Mr Butler, Mrs Sheffield and Mrs Porter, and the best bakes were eventually chosen.
Aiden McCann, from Year 7, was announced as the winner with his imaginative tri-flag cake, decorated with the Eiffel Tower, Loch Ness Monster and Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Lewis Chamberlain’s French-themed cake took second place and Kaspar Clarke’s Ukrainian “surprise” cake was third.
Plus, there were special mentions for Ajay Lockett (Y7), Hugo Metcalfe (Y7), Florence Walker (Y7) and Poppy Lang (Y8), whose cakes were all highly commended.
Languages teacher, Mrs Porter, comments: “A huge thank you to all the students who made cakes and the adults at home who supported this. The event was a great success and we made a whopping £93.50 for charity.”
The winners have each received a prize, and every student who entered has been awarded house points and a certificate. Well done to everyone who took part.
