Martinshaw Year 6 Supports Macmillan Cancer Charity A number of the students and staff in Martinshaw Primary Schools Year 6 have personal reasons to be grateful to Macmillan Cancer Support; therefore they decided, as a class, that they would run this year’s school coffee morning. Form Teacher Mrs Ong and TA Mrs Berry registered the school with the Macmillan charity and then supported the children as they produced invitations for parents, grandparents and staff. They baked cakes, decorated the school hall, then acted as waiters as their guests arrived, even making and decorating suitable collection boxes. The event was a complete success raising well in excess of £200. The children had a fantastic time and hope that similar events will be run in the future.
