Boroughbridge Primary School celebrates 90th birthday
Boroughbridge Primary School has celebrated its 90th birthday with fun activities and a look back at history.
Years 1 and 2 learned about play time games from the past, such as hopscotch, drop the handkerchief and catch the flag.
Year 2 children looked at photographs of the past and went to see where they thought they were taken from and watched a film from 1933, Alice in Wonderland, and compared it to modern films.
Key stage 2 children took part in three different sessions: playground games from the 1930s, a music quiz to see how music has changed in the last 90 years and a history session exploring the old school logbooks, photographs and newspaper clippings.
Friends of Boroughbridge School organised tea, cake, hot dogs and an inflatable.
