CHILDREN cut up old school uniforms to tell the tale of a young orphan for their end-of-term musical production.

Girls from Years 4, 5 and 6 at Leeming and Londonderry Primary School performed their own version of Annie in front of an appreciative audience intheir last week of term.

Headteacher Rowena Sykes said: "They looked scruffy, but nicely so. It was particularly impressive because they had no adult help and had been given the opportunity to take initiative and responsibility for the venture. The children deserve recognition for their hard work and their ability to produce a play that would equal any organised by adults.

"Several of the children leave the school next week and it was a lovely end to their primary life."
