Parents have said thank-you to staff who have taught their children for the last three years by throwing a surprise party.
The class of 23 youngsters at Overfields Primary School in Ormesby have been looked after by the same two members of staff since they started the school at the age oef three.
With the children now aged six and moving up to a new class, parents decided to organise a surprise thank you to show their appreciation to class teacher, Mrs Sue Duncan and teaching assistant, Mrs Lesley Nelson.
Headteacher, Mrs Tracy Watson said: “We pretended that we were getting everyone outside to do some safety work. This was when the parents surprised Mrs Duncan and Mrs Nelson.”
The pair were overwhelmed to find parents waiting outside. A party bus had been arranged which took the staff, parents and children on a short ride during which they listened to music, sang and danced. Back at the school, everyone enjoyed a celebratory party with tea and cake in the school hall.
Year One teacher, Mrs Sue Duncan said: “Today was a total surprise. It was an amazing experience for myself and my teaching assistant. It is certainly something that we will never forget.
“I would just like to say thank you to all of the parents and children for organising the surprise. It was wonderful.”
