Pupils from Kids 1st Bowesfield enjoyed a day inspired by the magic of Disney On Ice, dressing up as their favourite Disney stars, listening to much-loved Disney tales and creating Disney themed artwork, as well as watching one of their favourite films, Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story.

The children also enjoyed a Disney-themed tea party, before performing a sweet rendition of Toy Story’s ‘You’ve Got a Friend In Me’.

Children from all fifteen Kids 1st Nurseries will all go into a lucky draw to win tickets to Disney On Ice presents 100 Years of Magic when it arrives in the North East in October.

Jodie Hall, senior area manager at Kids 1st, said: “We have enjoyed an ongoing special relationship with Disney On Ice for many years, with initiatives that have enhanced our pupils’ pre-school journeys, including the sponsorship of bespoke Friendship Stations where children can sit and bond together – an important aspect of the pre-schooler’s development.

“The children are all big Disney fans, and sang ‘You’ve Got a Friend in Me’ at their graduation ceremonies this summer. Children and parents alike are thrilled about being in the lucky draw to win tickets to the show, and we’re very excited to be part of this initiative with Disney On Ice.”

Steven Armstrong, European North vice-president for Feld Entertainment, producers of Disney On Ice, said: “We’re delighted to be able to join forces once more with the award-winning Kids 1st Nurseries in the North East.

"It looks as though a great day was had by all, and the performance of ‘You’ve Got a Friend in Me’ was absolutely adorable!”
