Drury Primary School, Buckley
It was literally all fun and games at a community event hosted by the Flintshire school.
There was an open-to-all invite for people to come along and talk with pupils, while playing one of many games of offer.
Welcomed by head teacher Liz Jones and deputy headteacher Sian Ellis, visitors were also offered tea, coffee and biscuits.
Mrs Jones explained that the sessions not only gave children the chance to play but to talk, work on their communication and improve their oracy.
She added that the events with members of the wider community were a positive for all who attended.
First time visitor Gerry Green said: "I'm new to Drury and already a volunteer in the community. I had three grandchildren who went to this school, so I'm happy to support it."
After a community event at Christmas, which was a huge success, it was hoped to arrange more regular dates throughout the year.
The games session, with a mix of children from Year 3 and 4, ran from 9.30am to 11am, and there are plans to have similar sessions for arts and crafts, and painting.
There will also be more to celebrate this year, with lots of plans to mark the school's 50th anniversary.

A history trip to the Capital was in order for GCSE students. After an early start the group arrived in London, and quickly set about the activities, first visiting the Houses of Parliament. They were given a full tour, and even got the chance to stand on the floor of the House of Commons at the famous dispatch boxes.
After dinner they visited the Imperial War Museum, and the group were able to tour the exhibits charting the First and Second World Wars and the Holocaust.
An evening treat saw the group visit the very top of the Shard, Britain’s tallest building at over 1,016 ft.
Day two saw a visit to the London Dungeons, coming face to face with some of Britain’s most infamous criminals, such as Dick Turpin and Guy Fawkes.
After lunch a visit to The Clink museum, the site of Britian’s oldest prison! Students got to test out some of the punishments and witness the gruesome end of many of the inmates.
After tea they spent the evening following the trail of Jack the Ripper. The group’s evening tour of Whitechapel took in the sites of all the murders, there was even time to discuss possible suspects!
On the final day of the visit, the group set off to explore some of London’s most famous sites - Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and Horse Guards.
The students then boarded for their Thames River Cruise taking in the historic surroundings, and learning more interesting facts from their tour guide.
After collecting their luggage, the tired group made its way to Euston and home again to Ruabon.
