Pictured first are children at Metheringham Primary School during a bounce-athon held in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Staff and pupils took part in a range of activities on the theme of bouncing: skipping, bouncing a ball on the ground, bouncing a ball on a tennis racquet, and bouncing as many times as they could in 20 minutes on a bouncy castle.
