Raising money for Shelter

Before the holidays Y5C raised money for Shelter (The housing and homeless charity)  as part of our project 'There's no place like home'

We sold Yoyos, bouncy balls, planes and puzzle snakes with all the profit going to the charity.  So far we have raised just over £230.
