Ridge House celebrated May Day on Friday 1st May 2009. The weather was kind to us and the event took place in the Marlston House Courtyard which was decorated with bunting made by the children, balloons and at the centre was display decorated with ribbons to appear like a maypole.

The event was supported by Hurst Morris Dancers who very kindly attended the celebrations. Mr. Chris Smith played all the musical accompaniments for Ridge House on his melodeon and the rest of the team performed a stick dance and a hankie dance much to the delight of the children and other spectators.

All of the children from Nursery up to Form 8 performed a dance based upon traditional English dances. They tried so hard and remembered the steps and executed their dances wonderfully. Most of all though, it was huge fun! The morning was well supported by both parents, teachers and other pupils. We hope to repeat the event in future years.
