Kirkgunzeon Primary pupils are loving playing outside in any weather after receiving lots of new playground games.
They were paid for by a Christmas fundraiser called Light Up Kirkgunzeon.
It saw school families and the local community purchase lights on the new Christmas tree and pay for a dedication that was displayed in the school fence over the festive period.
They raised nearly £400 from the venture and, along with £340 raised through Christmas Enterprise sales and a movie night, school staff have managed to buy most of the items on the pupils’ wish list.
They are now the proud owners of a portable basketball hoop, a tennis net, hurdles, space hoppers, a giant Connect 4 game and new footballs as well as other smaller games.
Head teacher Mrs Alexander said: “The children are so excited to get to play outside together again with a range of new equipment.
“We have ordered a sand pit to be built too and our parent council have agreed to pay the cost of this so we truly are a lucky bunch.”
