St George's School was glowing with good cheer and bright yellow blooms on Friday.
The Whanganui primary school children were supporting Daffodil Day by donating gold coins and wearing yellow accessories.
Teacher Selina Percy said one of the school's main values was compassion and supporting the Cancer Society was a great way to demonstrate it.
"We have been talking about Daffodil Day this week and children have been making paper flowers.
"They have also decorated a yellow rowboat and everyone has been writing their ideas about who they might wear a daffodil for on a blackboard in the forecourt."
