On Friday afternoon, Year 8 prepared and ran an after school event for charity. There were cakes and biscuits to ice, basketball hoops to score, an ice cream stall, guess the name of the giant teddy, a very tricky night vision obstacle course and more! https://t.co/AMPbJ3yp0G https://t.co/svAczGbtAj
