A GROUP of primary school children took to the stage yesterday as part of the finale of a popular museum exhibition.

Pupils from St Mary's, Grangetown, Nunthorpe, St Gabriels, Ormesby and Skelton schools gave a performance of readings, poetry and music as the curtain came down on Kirkleatham Hall Museum's Vikings exhibition.

Each school performed for half an hour in the pavilion as a result of working with Tees Valley performer and folk musician Richard Grainger.

Museum curator Phil Philo said it was a perfect way to end the exhibition
