UMBRELLAS at the ready, but the showers did little to dampen the fun at St Nicholas Junior School’s Carnival Crazy fete.
The playground was transformed last Thursday with a colourful Mardi Gras procession including English folk dance, a Spanish theme and Chinese New Year celebrations.
Organised by the PTA, masked children brought a taste of the four cultures together for the afternoon, which raised
£1,000 towards on-going projects at the school.
Creative parents, under Coco Hodgkinson’s supervision, made a Chinese dragon, papier mache caricatures and piñatas.
Alexa Baker, outgoing PTA chairman, was delighted with support for the fete. She said: “It was fantastic. The head, Paul Walker, requested donkeys from the Donkey Sanctuary to go with the Spanish theme and we had sumo wresting and a rodeo bull.
“My husband Graham and I made a maypole for the folk dancing and Street Jazz from Sidmouth Ballet School did a performance of Mission Impossible.
“We were really lucky with the weather, light showers didn’t stop anyone.”
James Maskell from Year Six won a prize for staying on the rodeo bull the longest.
The new PTA will decide on what to spend the money but one on-going project is a cookery area with oven, fridge, extractor and cupboards in one of the school’s practical areas.
