<p>As part of our PSHE this term we were looking at Charity and our class decided to raise some money for Crisis at Christmas.<img alt="" src="/_site/data/files/images/auto_upload/C2D2FC23FBDB77479E13D4948612A2B3.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 1em 1em" title="" width="27.92%" />&nbsp; The class worked really hard to plan and put together a proposal for a hot chocolate and cookie sale.<img alt="" src="/_site/data/files/images/auto_upload/B255F3065E107171DB31FBA69E901307.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 1em 1em 0" title="" width="40%" /></p>

<p>The day before saw a cookathon from Katie, Archie, Enrique and Dylan making an amazing 142 cookies and on the day they showed great teamwork and raised &pound;90.51p for the charity.<img alt="" src="/_site/data/files/images/auto_upload/3CF2463E0E9A9E708D68D6CD236730FE.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 1em 1em 0" title="" width="40%" /></p>

<p>What an incredible achievement!</p>
