St John’s Infant School in Wimborne celebrated the Queen’s 90th birthday with a special garden party.

Youngsters at a Wimborne first school came together for a special tea party to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday.

The children at St John’s First School wanted to mark this momentous occasion and so planned a birthday party that will long be remembered.

Joined by families and friends they all gathered together on the school field to enjoy a very British tea and cake party.

Head of St John’s, Katharine Anstey, said: “The children were very keen to celebrate Her Majesty’s birthday and the event was very much organised by them.

“The sun shone and we all had a fantastic time marking the Queen’s 90 years.

“It is very special to be able to mark such an important national event and I am sure this party will remain in the memories of our children forever.”

As well as tea and cake the party goers also took part in a range of fun games.

Several children entertained everyone with their maypole dancing and Year 3 performed a country dance called ‘The Queen’s delight’.
