On Wednesday 3rd February Prep 2 held a bun sale. They all baked buns then brought them in to sell in aid of the Haiti Earthquake appeal. The prices were between 20p and 40p. Almost everyone bought one of the many different varieties. There were chocolate buns, plain ones and even a big chocolate cake with HELP HAITI! written on it. The sale was very quickly sold out. Everyone enjoyed it, including me! The Prep girls raised about £66 which I'm sure will make a big difference.
