The hilarious act by the teachers left the children in bouts of laughter.

It was a feast to the eyes to see the little ones go up and down the slides,  go round and round on the merry go round and ride ‘vroom vroom’ on their bikes. Their chitter chatter, their laughter truly echoed in the ears of every teacher who lavish so much love and care on them.
