A bucking broncho blast at Bucklebury’s Wild West Summer Fete

A school fete raised more than £1,500 earlier this month.

Bucklebury Primary School’s Summer Festival, this year Wild West themed, recently raised £1,559 for the school despite not raising its prices from last year.

“Our aim is inclusion and enhancing the learning environment and so we wanted to ensure that families all got to access the fun of our event without price excluding anyone,” said chair of Friends of Bucklebury School Sarah Belcher Fobs.

Children took part in welly wanging, what’s in the box, hook a duck, cactus ring toss and minute to win it – and enjoyed bringing back their plant stall.

The Bucklebury School Choir and Dance Fusion also performed and the Deer Class also sang several songs.

And the bucking broncho was a big hit in the hall, once everyone had to move indoors due to the wind and rain.

They were still able to head out to pet the miniature shetland ponies and grab food from the BBQ and hot drinks.
