What a really great day! Whatever your views of the royal family, there couldn’t be a person not impressed with the fun and excitement experienced by our children yesterday. It was a moment of living British history that I’m sure our children will remember.
It was a beautiful, sunny day with us all dressed in red, white and blue starting with a themed picnic lunch; Mrs. Page made a brilliant wedding cake (everyone got a piece today!); all our infants had already been to St. Leonard’s with Rev. Jones on Tuesday (Many thanks to Rev. Jones for that!); some staff had brought their own wedding dresses to school to show the children (Thanks for that too!); we had bunting and flags that lined the junior playground where we had all our dining tables set out for the big street party (Many thanks for sending in all the party goodies too!); we had DJ Raz’s music pumping out across the afternoon from Ashton Entertainments; we had a wedding hat competition with such incredibly creative entries (see winners list below and thanks to Mrs. Nicholls and Mrs. Lowe this time for the thankless judging task!) and we noticed that the standard was really high with such innovative ideas that we had to increase the number of prizes!
We also had a wide range of crafty and sporting activities that kept the children interested, excited and challenged all afternoon; and we finished the day with a conga led by Mrs. Simpson and her megaphone through our new creative outdoor space.
Huge thanks to all our staff team for pulling it all together and providing this wonderful opportunity once again for our children at Padiham Green. Watch out for the Burnley/Padiham Express and the Telegraph for photos.
