Bake Off Final 2019

Thank you to all Key Stage 2 pupils who made a cake or biscuit for this year’s Great Fishergate Bake Off. The judges had an excellent time eating all your baked goodies and said the standards were amazing.

Well done to all our finalists who made it through to the Bake Off final. We had Grace, Edgar and Kester from Year 3/4 and Leo, Carina and Connie from year 5/6.

The judges found it hard to pick a winning cake, but after much deliberation they judged the winning cake to be Carina’s Christmas Emoji cake. Well done Carina! Each finalist received an exclusive Bake Off apron and Carina also received a winner’s trophy.

Thank you to all the judges: Miss Solanki, Mr Kelly, Anya, Susannah, Evie, Ada, Jamie, Sunshine, Delphi and Issy- it was a hard job I am sure!

Thank you all for your support and hard work.

Please take a moment to read the following information and guidance for parents and carers regarding winter illness, issued by the Yorkshire & Humber Health Protection Team of Public Health England*. We would ask parents and carers to pay particular attention to the requirement that children who are affected by diarrhoea and vomiting should stay off school until at least 48 hours after they last had diarrhoea or vomiting.
