May Day Festival and Open Day 2012
Hundreds watched as children from the Ringwood Waldorf School welcomed summer in the traditional way, on Saturday.
Maypole dancing performed by classes four and five, accompanied with music by other pupils, was the highlight of the annual May Day celebration and Open Morning at the Folly Farm Lane school.
Some 250 visitors were also invited to watch pupils sing and perform a play in the school hall, as well as visit classrooms to see children’s work on display and meet their teachers.
“This annual event is very popular with lots of existing parents and prospective parents all gathered in the school courtyard,” said Sandi Weir, music teacher.
“The school was full of people enjoying the festivities with us. It was lovely, lots of families. We wanted it to be a community event, and it was.”
Refreshments included home baked cakes and coffee made and served by class 3 parents.
