Pupils get knitting to raise cash for cancer cause


VALLEYS school pupils are helping to spread Christmas joy and do their bit for charity by knitting 1,100 mini snowmen to be sold to raise money for a cancer hospice.

Children from Pentwynmawr Primary School, in Newbridge, attended after school classes to learn how to master the skill and also got help from parents and grandparents.

The snowmen, which have a hole in the front to put sweets in, will be sold for £1 with all proceeds going to Velindre Hospital, Cardiff, which treats cancer patients from across South Wales.
