TINTAGEL Primary School celebrated World Book Day and St Piran’s Day last Thursday, March 5 with a ‘Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’.

Children dressed up in bright and colourful hats and enjoyed a traditional Cornish spread of pasties and scones with clotted cream and jam.

A spokesperson from the school said: “We were blown away by the response to our theme of ‘the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’ this year. The children’s hats were spectacular — thank you so much for helping them to get creative — and so unique. There were some ingenious ideas and plenty of small details to make us all smile.

“As well as exploring the work of Lewis Carroll, we shared a very special lunch with as many parents as we could fit in the hall. Surrounded by all the strange and wonderful artefacts from the story of Alice in Wonderland, we enjoyed our St Piran’s pasties and marvelled at the fabulous hats. These are such memorable milestones for the children and are part of the DNA of our school, so thank you for helping us to make it special.”
