Comic Relief
Boothferry School Council organised a very successful Red Nose Day; pupils and staff were invited to wear their pyjamas, 'onesies', dressing gowns and slippers for the day and donated money towards Comic Relief. Children also spent the afternoon with Mr Capewell making a variety of Comic Relief cakes and buns. These were then on sale after school and sold out in a matter of minutes!
