Song, art and dance were all used to bring legends such as Robin Hood and Pegasus to life at Great Dunmow Primary School.
Pupils of all ages joined in on the fun as part of their Creative Arts Festival.
They got to enjoy a range of activities including dressing up as characters from fairytales and legends, which was the theme for the event.
Each class also made their own wall hanging using lots of different materials. One class managed to create the Welsh dragon using mosaic.
Great Dunmow’s mayor and mayoress, Phil and June Milne, presented prizes to winners of an art competition held earlier in the week.
