This year we held a Cafe in the school hall. The Reception children made biscuits to sell and Year 1 brought in some lovely cakes. The Friends of Nettleham Infant School sold tea and coffee and the Year 2 children were waiters/waitresses. Lots of friends and families came to the cafe and we made a total of £529.19. Thank you to everyone who helped on the day and gave donations to make the event such a great success. Click on the link below to see what a busy time we had.
