The pupils took part in a whole host of circus activities including juggling and plate spinning.

“It was a way of extending the curriculum in a really fun way,” said teaching assistant Briony Cxornookyj. “At the end of the day the whole school got together and some of the children demonstrated the skills they had learned.”
