Flour Babies by Anne Fine
The members of Class 4C are given a project; they are each to look after a bag of flour as if it were an actual baby, and after three weeks be rewarded with a huge flour fight. They learn far more from the experiment than they could ever have expected.
Funny and poignant, Flour Babies is a brilliant depiction of secondary school life.
