STUDENTS took part in a poetry recital as part of a project to spread Easter cheer to local pensioners.
The year eight, nine and ten pupils at Grangefield School, Stockton, made Easter cards to distribute as gifts among elderly people in the community. Inside each card, students wrote poems on the theme of spring and Easter.
Yesterday, 12 pupils took part in a recital of their poems, helped by local poet Bob Beagrie, who has been working with the students.
Grangefield teacher Claire Cuthbert said: "The pupils have worked really hard and created some truly inspirational and uplifting work."
