CHILDREN from Yarm Early School used their creative talents to help raise hundreds of pounds for charity.

The youngsters' artwork resulted from a partnership between Orb Enterprise, a Yarm School sixth form young enterprise group, and girls and boys from the Early Years.

The impressive results, created with visiting artist, Chris Pendlington, during the school's art week, have been sold to parents with the profits donated to Unicef.

Senior teacher Ian McKay was full of praise for the £400 fundraising effort. He said: "The children gained much from this experience, helping a worthwhile cause and taking home a superb memento of their artwork."
