There was a business angel, rabbits with long ears, a zebra, police officers, old ladies and gentlemen with canes, sixpence and knitwear, and many more imaginative costumes, when the children of Pumpestation had a party just before the winter holidays. Read a report from the party written by children's reporters Asta and Signe here.
On Friday 9 February, there was a Shrovetide party at the Pump Station. There were many great costumes. There was a barrel fight inside the football cage, and the children were divided by class and gender. After the barrel smashing, Laila served hot chocolate and carnival buns in the kitchen. Cat kings and queens were crowned from each year group, and some of the children also received prizes for their costumes. Børnereporterne was at the party, where we interviewed the three children who received awards for their beautiful homemade costumes. The winners each received two cinema tickets as prizes.
THE FUN COSTUME: Charlie - Gertrud Sand with her beloved food processor
We had agreed that we would do something together and something fun. And we thought about being something from the old days. We ended up being an old married couple because we thought it was fun. Emily aka Ingegert: I borrowed the hat from my sister and the dress is my mum's from when she was little. The knitting needles are my own. Ingrid aka Ole: I was Egon Olsen last year for Shrovetide, so I already had the jacket. The tie is my dad's and I bought the beard in Tiger.
