Red Nose Day


Everyone had fun raising money for Red Nose Day. There were delicious Red Nose cakes for sale, an exciting football match and St Mabyn's own Strictly Come Dancing competition. The judges found it very difficult to decide on a winner but eventually gave first prize to Callum and Harry from class 2. All the dancers had worked hard and put on an enjoyable show.
