The annual event began on May 15 and we just had to celebrate with a set of fun-filled photos from Wearside’s past.
Get set to be giggling to these scenes of out-of-control pancakes in 2004, a bath of spaghetti in 2009, and the loveliest playmates having fun in the messy play area of Mowbray Park in 2014.
1. Happy times in the playground
We love these smiling faces at Southwick Primary School in 2007. Ex-teacher Alison Downie shared a joke with Aaron Sutherland, Ari Bulmer, Ella Gray, Elisha Green, Aidan Sutherland, Alice Goldsmith and Jessica Johnston on a visit to Southwick Primary School. Photo: AB
