Pupils from North Cadbury Primary School who had birthdays during lockdown did not miss out as head teacher Lisa Thompson organised a huge celebration with a bouncy castle, balloons and birthday cake for the whole school and a special guest.

Gordon Atwell celebrated his birthday with all the children as he turned 90 during lockdown and he shared some special memories of his school days with pupils.

One eight-year-old pupil said: “In the old days, all three classrooms in the school were in the School Hall, the children used chalk boards, there were separate playgrounds for boys and girls and the children had to wee in a bucket!”
Oh, how times have changed…
