House Chocolate Tower Building Competition

There was high excitement at the House Chocolate Tower Building Competition as teams battled it out for the tallest creation. Oak House emerged victorious, setting a brand-new record! All the delicious chocolate donations will now be transferred to the Christmas Fair for the ever-popular Chocolate Tombola, so come along and try your luck for a chance to win (and eat!) it all. House points will continue to be tallied, with extra credit going to the house stall that raises the most money at the fair. At the end of the challenge, the overall winning house will be rewarded with a hot chocolate and brownie treat. Good luck everyone, it’s still all to play for! Simon Jervis
