CHIPPENHAM NEWS: CHILDREN took a well-earned rest from algebra and grammar to spend a week enjoying games.

Youngsters from Redland Primary School, Chippenham, have been taking part in a week-long sports project promoting fitness and healthy eating.

Instead of sitting in lessons the whole school has been playing a host of games including football, rugby, acrobatics and kung fu.

Pupils also received two new strips from former England football star Andy Sinton donated by the former West End Social Club football team and CMC Ltd.

Headteacher Hilary Walton said: "We have had the Bath Rugby Club turn up and a kung fu exhibition was held.

"Children have been rambling, had healthy cooking and we have covered a huge range of sporting activities.

"Everyone had a great time and learned about getting fit."
