Maisie Barnfield( Princess)
My name is Maisie Neve Barnfield and I’ m honoured to be your carnival princess of 2016.
I’ m currently in year 6 at William Gilbert Endowed School. I really enjoy school and like all subjects.
I love all sports, especially athletics and tennis and would love to follow in the footsteps of Jessica Ennis Hill. When I get the chance I play tennis at Duffield Tennis Club & have been given the opportunity to be coached in tennis at county level which was very rewarding.
Dance is a big part of my life and I love to dance all genres. Recently I competed in Comberford Dance Festival and have competed in Derby Arts and also Beaurepaire Festival in Belper in the past. I dance at the Vision Dance School and have done so for the last 7 + years. I help out with teaching the younger dancers which I really enjoy. I love it there and have met lots of lovely friends.
I’ m keen to try new things and enjoy cookery, hockey, football and crafts. I love adventures with my family and friends and am not afraid to get dirty. I like all sorts of music and enjoy going to music festivals with my family. I’ ve been to Glastonbury, when I was much younger and also Splendour and this summer I’ m travelling to Budapest to Sziget. I love travelling to new places, and going on holiday with my family.
“ I am 10 years old and live in Duffield with my older brother, Dom and mum and dad. We’ re a musical family and I play the violin and sing with my best friend, Alice. I absolutely love cats- and we have 3 black cats called Snuggles, Trinidad and Tobago. I love swimming too. I enjoy writing stories and my favourite lessons at school are English, Maths, Science and Art; pretty much everything about school really! I love travelling with my family- anywhere in the world, my favourite places being New Zealand and the Caribbean; and I like reading National Geographic Kids and everything about the natural world. I like painting my nails and trying to hide these at school! I love cheese and bacon and absolutely hate baked beans!!
Archie is a keen sports man and plays football for DERBY COUNTY football club in the under 11’ s academy team.
He is also a keen cricketer who plays with Derbyshire Cricket Club and Duffield too.
As well as the above there really isn’ t a sport he doesn’ t like except motor racing!
He loves spending time with his friends, and especially loves a giggle and practical jokes. He enjoys school and the after school activities.
He’ s a happy go lucky boy and is looking forward to being an attendant.
