PUPILS have been busy baking and decorating Valentine biscuits to raise money for charity.

Youngsters at St Wilfrid's CE Lower School in Byrom Street, Blackburn, have been baking biscuits in their food technology classes and selling them at lunch times and break times to pupils and staff.

All proceeds will go towards the national "Big Bake for Barnardo's appeal".

Gwen Hargreaves, food technology teacher said: "The children have baked more than 100 biscuits, and we're hoping to raise £150 for Barnardo's."

Scott Bentley and Laura Hartley are pictured checking the first batch.
