A COLOURFUL procession of children dressed up as rockets, alien spaceships and trains was held at North Bourne Primary School in Didcot.

The carnival procession – the culmination of an arts project – displayed all the work children had created over the past year on the topic of travelling.

Parents and residents lined the streets and watched from windows as the noisy procession took the colourfully dressed children around the streets near the school.

About 250 children took part in the carnival, which lasted for half an hour.

The youngsters spent recent weeks making their outfits, which included cars, rockets and trains.

The school is celebrating securing a three-year arts funding deal from the Changing Schools Project, which was set up to develop creativity among primary schoolchildren in Oxfordshire.
