Kayleigh Sparrow, 11, and Nathan Young, 10, served elderly residents

GREENHITHE pupils served up an array of tasty treats for their annual Autumn Tea Party on Wednesday (October 16).

Elderly people were invited to spend the afternoon at Knockhall Community Primary School in Eynsford Road where they sampled sandwiches, tea and cake.

There was a variety of entertainment including dancing, singing and bingo and prizes for the games were even donated by local businesses as well as parents and staff.

School administrator Katherine Seeger said: “It went really well and the hall was full.
“We’ve been running the tea party for years and the elderly people love it.

“The kids got on stage and sang traditional songs and everyone joined it.
“All the elderly people went home with a raffle prize as well.”
