On the last day of term before the Easter holidays, the children at Blundeston CEVCP School managed to raise £170.75 for Brain Tumour Research.

A spokesman for the school in Church Road, Blundeston said: 'All the children were invited to make and wear a hat on the last day of term. The hats were judged by the school council and the winners in each year group received a prize. A fun day was then rounded off with a cake sale and Easter egg raffle organised by the PTA.'
