The Rayong Bakery Project goes to The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party

On Wednesday October 17, the Regent’s Primary school held a special fun day for the children as part of their book week celebrations.  Everyone was asked to wear their pyjamas and bring along a favourite soft toy.  (It’s not often you get to wear your pj’s to school!).  As you can imagine the focus was on books and it was a happy day of reading and being read to.  One of the activities was “The Mad Hatters Tea Party”.  The Mad Hatter is a character from the well known story “Alice in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll.  A special area near the library was decorated with scenes and characters from the book.  The Rayong Bakery Project was asked along to sell cakes, biscuits and lots of other yummy goodies to the children when they came to the library for a storytelling session.  The Mad Hatter himself welcomed the children and entertained them with excerpts from the book.  Helping us with the bakery was “Alice in Wonderland” (we think she was really one of the teachers!) and Sohini and I wore our rabbits ears. (The rabbit was another character from the story). Over 400 children, teachers and parents visited the Tea Party and it was fun to see so many excited faces.  It was a very busy and tiring day but one we were happy to be a part of.  The Regent’s school is a great supporter of the Rayong Bakery Project and we thank them for asking us to be a part of their special day.
