Key points:
- A school used trumpets, drums, and bright balloons at entry. The show was set to cheer both teachers and pupils.
- A mum shared a clip of the grand first-day parade. She said it was planned to hail staff and kids.
- Some new pupils did not like the loud noise. They cried as they walked through the arch of balloons.
A Lagos school made back-to-school day feel like a party. Trumpets blared. Drums rolled. Balloons framed a red carpet at the gate.
A mum filmed the scene and shared a short clip. She wrote, “POV: At your children’s school, they got ‘paranran’ people to welcome the kids back to school.” She added that the fun was for both the pupils and the teachers.
Grand entrance with music and colour
The gate had a bold arch of blue, pink, and white balloons. A red carpet sat under small feet with neat new shoes. Trumpeters stood by. Drummers kept time with sharp beats. Staff smiled as kids took short steps through the arch.
The plan was clear and sweet. The school wanted cheers on day one. It felt like a show of love for the whole team. Many parents filmed quick clips as the band played on.
Kids react to the loud first-day buzz
Not all the kids felt the same way. Some new pupils froze as the horns blared. A few burst into tears as they neared the arch. Others clung to a parent’s arm and looked shy.
The mum who posted the clip gave more gist. She said the show was set up for staff as well as kids. Yet, the sound felt too strong for some little ones. The tears told the story with no words needed.
Parents and staff explain the idea
A few parents near the gate tried to calm the kids. They bent close, gave soft pats, and spoke warm words. Staff stayed close with light smiles and kind nods. In time, most kids moved past the arch and into class.
The clip drew laughs and warm notes online. Many said the idea was cute and bright. A few said the horns were a bit much for first timers. Still, the day set a high bar for joy at drop-off.
