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.
Former headteacher Mr Roberts, who was in charge when many parents were pupils, also attended and said he was delighted with how well the school is flourishing.
Year 5 teacher Ms Frampton was able to provide many historical photographs and school logbooks from past years.
Headteacher Emma Ryan said:
“The event was the perfect opportunity to involve the children within their history lessons and learn about our school and how much it has changed over the years.
“It was an absolute delight to welcome all our families into school to celebrate its 90th birthday.”
