CHILDREN and staff at Oasis academy Longmeadow Primary School were visited today by a big furry friend to promote raising money for Children in Need.

Pudsey Bear himself led a very special assembly where all pupils and staffed enjoyed a good boogie and twist whilst wearing everything spotty.

A special spotty cake was baked by Clarendon student Keziah Morgan, which was used for a “guess how many spots” competition.

Year 6 pupil Oli Osinski said: “It's great to be raising money for children who aren't as lucky as us, and we had great fun doing the twist.”
