RAIN couldn’t dampen the spirits of visitors to a school’s summer fete.
Hundreds of families braved the showers for the event at Pitmaston Primary School last Saturday.
Pupils from the school performed a series of dances to fit in with the fete’s theme of Around the World.
Bhangra and Zumba were among the styles on display, while pupils from year 5 performed the New Zealand war dance, the Haka.
A cake decorating competition was held, with pupil Laura Jervis taking first place in the key stage 2 category for her Russian doll cake.
Visitors were entertained indoors with a series of upbeat songs from Worcester Ukelele band.
While singer-songwriter Jodie Howland, a former pupil at the school, sang and played guitar outside.
Members of the emergency services took their vehicles to show off to the children.
Police officers created a crime scene and junior detectives were able to record their fingerprints.
There was also a fairground ride, tombolas, games and a barbecue.
Stall holders were at the fete selling plants, books, jewellery, make-up, toys and gifts.
Becky Brixey, chairman of the school’s PTA, said: “Despite the rain, hundreds of parents turned up to watch their children’s performances and enjoy the day.
“Thanks to them we raised more than £2,500 which will go towards IT equipment for the children.
“We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped make the day a success.”
