“The THRIVE Team of Little Common School, PTA stalls, Photo Booth provided by Rascals Children’s Entertainment, Inflatables provided by Airplay inflatables and Land Train provided by Premier Rides were constantly busy and gave hours of fun to the whole family.

“Bexhill Lions Club served a tasty BBQ followed by delicious Strawberries and Cream provided by Carrolls, and The Denbigh pub supplied the Pimms.

“The culmination of the afternoon for the children was who they chose to be gunged! Whilst there were several nominations, the joy of gunging fell to Head Teacher Linda Appleby who won with an overwhelming landslide and Y6 pupil Nisha.
