BGS Thank You NHS House Bake Off – Week 4 – Traybake
The BGS community have been super busy baking over the half term holiday and we have had over 50 entries for Traybake week. It was lovely to be able to judge all the different flavours and colourful designs. We’re sure they all tasted delicious.
Overall Traybake winner
Mrs Inkson (Head of Year 6) - Parks. We were super impressed with Mrs Inkson’s Almond and Yogurt sponge decorated with an intricate colourful pattern.
Senior School
1st Place – Holly Stuart (Year 7) – Parks. Holly’s design really captures the Traybake brief, and shows cases our continued thanks for all the NHS workers. Great idea, and executed brilliantly.
Runner up – Ella Bowis (Year 9) – Austen.
Junior School
1st Place – Jenna Mistry (Year 4) - Parks. We loved the different words that Jenna stamped out on her Lemon vegan traybake. Such a wonderful way to say thank you to NHS workers.
