The Soaking of Mr Dakin at St Giles Primary School Fate in Willenhall, Saturday 21st June 2015 1
The Soaking of Mr Dakin, Saturday 20th June 2015
It was the first time in over 15 years since St Giles Primary School in Willenhall had a Fate and it was a bit of a wash-out, due to heavy rain most of the day. This did not stop people turning up and having fun.
The Headmaster Mr Dakin got a bit of a soaking and that was not only due to the rain, as many disgruntled children sent him to the stocks so they could all throw soaking wet sponges at him, what a great sport he was too.
Here is a little video put together by us, enjoy!!!!

Oxford is a university city in Oxfordshire, England, with a population of 155,000.
It is 56 miles (90 km) northwest of London, 64 miles (103 km) from Birmingham and 24 miles (39 km) from Reading by road.
The city is home to the University of Oxford, the oldest in the English-speaking world, and has buildings in every style of English architecture from late Anglo-Saxon. Oxford's industries include motor manufacturing, education, publishing, information technology and science.
The University of Oxford is first mentioned in 12th-century records. Of the hundreds of aularian houses that sprang up across the city, only St Edmund Hall (c. 1225) remains. What put an end to the halls was the emergence of colleges.
Oxford's earliest colleges were University College (1249), Balliol (1263) and Merton (1264). These colleges were established at a time when Europeans were starting to translate the writings of Greek philosophers. These writings challenged European ideology, inspiring scientific discoveries and advancements in the arts, as society began to see itself in a new way.
These colleges at Oxford were supported by the Church in the hope of reconciling Greek philosophy and Christian theology. The relationship between town and gown has often been uneasy – as many as 93 students and townspeople were killed in the St Scholastica Day Riot of 1355.
The sweating sickness epidemic in 1517 was particularly devastating to Oxford and Cambridge where it killed half of both cities' populations, including many students and dons.
Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford is unique in combining a college chapel and a cathedral in one foundation. Originally the Priory Church of St Frideswide, the building was extended and incorporated into the structure of the Cardinal's College shortly before its refounding as Christ Church in 1546, since when it has functioned as the cathedral of the Diocese of Oxford.
The Oxford Martyrs were tried for heresy in 1555 and subsequently burnt at the stake, on what is now Broad Street, for their religious beliefs and teachings. The three martyrs were the bishops Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley, and the archbishop Thomas Cranmer. The Martyrs' Memorial stands nearby, round the corner to the north on St. Giles.
