YOUNGSTERS skipped, skipped and skipped for charity!

Classmates at Ladybridge Primary took part in a skipathon in aid of the British Heart Foundation.

And on Wednesday the whole school took to the playground to skip for as long as they could.

Teacher Kathryn Cooper said: “It was a brilliant atmosphere on the day. We had cheerleaders and music.”

She added: “The event was to raise money for the charity we are supporting but it also fitted in with the school’s health initiatives.”

Children are now busy collecting their sponsorship money.
