Youngsters at St Mary's Primary School in Fleetwood go all out for World Cup Great British Bake Off

Creativity, teamwork and plenty of sweet treats were on display as Year 6 pupils at St Mary's Primary School in Fleetwood took part in their annual Great British Bake Off event.

This year's theme celebrated the FIFA World Cup with children designing and creating cakes inspired by World Cup host nations, football culture and landmarks associated with countries that have welcomed the world's biggest sporting tournament.

The theme encouraged pupils to think creatively and showcase their baking talents through a wide variety of imaginative designs.

Year 6 class teacher Katie Davids praised the effort that had gone into the event.

She said: “It's always a wonderful event for the whole school to enjoy. It's great to see the effort that the children and families make, and it's always lovely to see the smiles on the children's faces and how proud they are of their creations.”

The event proved to be a huge success, with the entire school invited to view the impressive creations before having the opportunity to purchase and enjoy the cakes.

The classroom was filled with excitement as pupils, staff and families admired the colourful displays, creating a wonderful atmosphere throughout the day.

Pupil Daisy was one of the successful bakers and was delighted to be named one of the winners.

She said: "I was really pleased to win after trying so hard,”

And runner-up Tayson also enjoyed taking part in the competition.

He said: "I enjoyed doing it for the second year running," he said.

The annual bake-off has become a much-loved tradition at St Mary's, bringing together pupils, staff and families while raising funds and celebrating the creativity and enthusiasm of the school's Year 6 children. Judging by the smiles on display and the speed at which the cakes sold out, this year's World Cup-themed event was another winning performance.
