Inspired pupils at Peterborough school raise cash for Oxfam
Longthorpe Primary pupils dressed up in the colours of the Yemen flag - red, white and black - and held a cake sale which raised £731.
Teaching assistant Jyoti Edirisooriya said: “We were inspired by a newspaper article about the crisis in Yemen and the children were enthusiastic to help.
