A day later than planned, but better late than never. Friday started off with light rain in the morning getting heavier as the day went on up until about 2pm. then it brightened up and stayed dry for the rest of the evening for the carnival.
Construction of the school float, whose theme was Stramongate has Olympic Talent started at around 9am, with about 8 parents including myself making the start. The scaffolding went on to the wagon, and was fastened securely to the sides as a safety barrier for the kids who would be on the float that night.
During last term the kids had made flags, also Date boards with city names of the previous Olympics. These were than attached to the scaffolding and the float started to take shape. We had borrowed 1st, 2nd & 3rd podiums from a local gymnastics club. The Olympic rings were made from paper mache and painted these were hung up in the middle of the float. On the evening the kids and some of the teachers and parents were dressed as athletes and Olympic officials. The evening was a great success although we did not win a trophy for all the effort that was put in. At the presentation awards afterwards my kids got to meet and get a picture taken with Steven Hall, one of the finalists on last season’s Britain’s Got Talent.
