Bouncy Castle and slide
Two delicious poems about strawberries written by Year 4 pupils at Oakhurst Community First School earned them the titles of Prince and Princess Strawberry at the Barrington Centre’s Strawberry Fayre on Saturday (14 June).
The event which included numerous art and craft stalls, bouncy castle and slide, face painting and cream teas attracted all ages and one of the highlights was the crowning of the royal pair.
Prizes were presented to both the prince and princess as well as the runners up in the poetry competition, following which Daniel aged 9 was crowned by Anthony Roberts on behalf of the fayre sponsors, Goadsby Estate Agents and Tegan aged 8 received her crown from former mayor Cllr Mrs Pauline Reynolds who said, “This is great for the children.”
Anthony, who presented all the children with prizes, before sharing a cream tea with them added, “It’s an enjoyable event and good to see the children enjoying themselves.”
