Pupils at Pewsey Primary School had a magical time learning how to wow audiences with cool tricks.

A dozen pupils were selected to take part in a workshop with magician Nick Ralls over two days last week.

The pupils were taught an array of magic tricks and chose which they wanted to perform in front of the school.

The event was arranged as part of a whole school project called Be the Best You Can Be, which was inspired by the London Olympics legacy.

The programme aims to inspire, engage and empower youngsters to reach their full potential.

Event organiser Claire Weyman, the pastoral manager at the school, said: “I was really proud of all the pupils who took part and the courage they showed in standing before a large audience of pupils and parents.

“It has helped the children to gain confidence and feel good about who they are.”
