This year, 58 schools and 3,473 children took part with the help of over 1,000 parents and carers.

Leading the way, Downs View School showcased Why Mosquitoes Buzz In People’s Ears followed by Moulsecoomb Primary School with The Hunterman and the Crocodile.


St Luke's Primary School created a striking sculpture of Anansi the Spider, complimented by the childrens' eye catching costumes
