A spokesperson from Fairfield said: "The students made costumes and instruments and were soon drawn into the action as the performers paraded through the school.

"The excited students moved, danced and became immersed in the experience, with expressions of awe and huge smiles.

"This term, the students at Fairfield had been learning all about animals, so the larger than life puppets were magically engaging – it was a fantastic celebration!"
