Billy Bucket 2025

Posted on Thursday 12th June 2025Thursday 12th June 2025 by Little Birds Nursery
This image shows two children in blue school uniforms at a sink, engaged in an activity that involves water. One child, seen from the back, has light brown hair tied in a ponytail with a dark blue bow and is wearing a blue top with a white collar. They are holding a yellow object and what looks like a repurposed carton or box under the running water from a tap in a metal sink. Another child with lighter, curly hair is partially visible behind the first, also interacting with the sink. A third child is partially visible on the far left, looking towards the camera and smiling. The setting appears to be a classroom or utility area within a school.
