Mr Knowles’ Week 4: Finalists & Winners!
This week’s challenge has proved the most popular yet! We received over 200 entries from staff and students who have been making the most of spending time at home with relatives and many embracing the chance to prepare cakes for VE Day on Saturday. Each Year Leader has had the unenviable task of selecting just 10 finalists all of which have been displayed on the school website here: https://www.haydonschool.com/news/?pid=3&nid=1&storyid=54
Year 7 – Guiliana Schettino – A wide range of baking skills
Year 8 – Andreaa Cristescu – I would devour this plate in one sitting
Year 9 – Benedict Courtney – Pastalicious!
Year 10 – Donya Hajiahmad – Demonstrated a wide variety of culinary expertise
Year 12 – Charli O’Connor – mmmmmm....
Staff – Ms Williams – Tasty support for VE day
Message from Mr Knowles:
I have to say I was overwhelmed not only by the amount of entries but also by the variety and imagination behind them. I know it’s often said but it really was impossible to choose a winner but Mr Gooch has forced my hand so even if your name is not below, you are all winners!
If you didn’t win - please don’t hate me for not selecting your entry – your prize was in the eating!
Mr Knowles
