Edition No 4 22/23 September 2022
Saturday afternoon saw the return of the 'Frome Carnival' for the first time since the pandemic and Oakfield Academy pupils and staff were very excited to be taking part once again. This year our theme was 'The Bare Necessities' from the well-loved 'Jungle Book'. The costumes on a jungle theme were spectacular with panthers, bears, monkeys, elephants, flamingos and many more. There was even a life-sized tree AND a banana - BRILLIANT! Our staff and pupils danced and sang their way around Frome with infectious energy bringing smiles to many faces and cheers from the crowds lining the streets. Congratulations to everyone involved for all their hard work, energy and enthusiasm. The judges were clearly impressed and awarded our pupils a 'first prize' certificate in their class. A huge 'thank you' to parents for all the support with costumes and to those who carried the water bottles around the route - you were lifesavers! Huge thanks also to our fabulous staff helpers Mr Oates, Miss Crowther, Miss Davel, Miss Manvill, Mrs Cross and Mrs Wells for all their support painting faces, inflating and carrying balloons, holding banners and music speakers. It really was a special afternoon to remember! Ms C Parsons
