Oscar’s School Fete,
Wembury
 A glorious, sunny day
for a school fete.
 Two o’clock some of
Oscar’s class performed a maypole
dance. Maypole dancing is a form of folk dance from Germany,
England, and Sweden. There are two forms. The first and most popular consists of
dancers that perform circle dances around a tall, garland-festooned pole. In the
second, dancers move in a circle, each holding As they move around the pole, the
dancers intertwine their ribbons either in a web around the pole or to plait it
to the pole, the ribbons, the dancers retrace their
steps.
  Oscar (in the cap toward the right).
 We watched as the ribbons made their pattern and then the steps were
reversed – a good job.
  Next, we watched Jacob on a pony ride.
   All went well until his steed passed wind...........the face says it all.
 Smelly it has to be
said. Jacob had to pinch his nose.
 Kim (pale blue cardy tied at waist) took to the serious
business of ladies tug-of-war.
  First pull – an easy
win, all smiles.
 The opponents never looked confident.
 Laughter before the second pull.
  Taking up the slack and pulling.
 Another easy win, so best of three was over with the two
successes. We had to shoot back to Eva as we are having Andrew and Edward for
the rest of the weekend. So lovely to see a school fete well attended, children
and parents alike having fun topped off with proper English weather for
summertime.
ALL IN ALL A
JOLLY BUSINESS
A LOVELY STEP BACK IN
TIME
