00:00We're here in Much Wenlock at Much Wenlock Primary and we're with, what's your name mate?

00:09I am the boss, yeah.

00:10Cool, and what's your name?

00:11I'm Erin Harford.

00:12So we're about to do a colour run.

00:14Look at all this lovely powder, some of which will end up on my camera, I guarantee it.

00:19So it's just a bit of fun miss, for the end of term, is that what it's all about?

00:23It's definitely a bit of fun, we're really community focused here,

00:26so we like to end the year with something really fun.

00:31I'm a new leader here, so there's been lots of changes in the school.

00:35It's year six's last day today as well, so we wanted to end on a hike.

00:39So this is your last day at the school?

00:41Yeah.

00:41So where do you guys go on to after here?

00:44Secondary school, so I'm going to Reefing College.

00:46I'm going to Williamsburg.

00:48Ah wow, so it is a big day isn't it for you guys?

00:50What a way to end it eh, with a colourful bang.

00:52So I understand miss, that it nearly didn't happen, just fill us in what happened.

00:58You ordered the paint, yeah?

00:59Yeah, so we ordered the paint a very long time ago through our PTA,

01:04and when it didn't arrive a few weeks ago, myself and our central team were contacting the business,

01:12phoning, emailing consistently.

01:15They never got back to us and the paint didn't arrive,

01:17so on Monday I had to unfortunately send a letter out to all the parents to state that it was cancelled.

01:24From that point on, our wonderful community got together,

01:28found an overnight freight service to get the paint,

01:33and in order to make sure that we were not out of pocket,

01:37the wonderful business of Sam's dad,

01:39so it is, what's the name of your dad's company again, sir?

01:42DLM Electrical Maintenances.

01:44DLM Electrical Maintenances, cool.

01:47And also, Erin's mum works at Condova College,

01:50and they also, sorry, I do apologize,

01:53so works at Concord College as well,

01:56and they donated,

01:57and this is the culmination of such a great community coming together.

02:01How cool is that, mate?

02:02Yeah, really good, really good.

02:04So, I'm going to ask you a question now,

02:06this is your last day at this school,

02:08what are you going to miss most about this school?

02:10Or, you know, tell me something nice about this school.

02:12I think I've just really loved how everybody's supported me through my entire life.

02:17I've been in this school for nine years,

02:20all the way through nursery,

02:22and all the staff have just been so helpful towards me and so kind.

02:26Well spoken, young man.

02:27What about you, Erin?

02:28Well, I'm going to miss some of the friends that won't come into the school with me,

02:32but also miss the staff that has helped me through challenges,

02:37like residential trips and all that.

02:41So, before you go,

02:42you're going to enjoy chucking paint over everyone.

02:44Yeah, definitely.

02:46Right, well, we'll let you crack on.
