AN Old Hill school have kick started their World Cup celebrations by holding a 'Danceathon' on the playground.

All the pupils at Reddal Hill Primary School decorated their own football top and wore it outside to dance to songs from different countries and football anthems.

Vicki Hackwood, year three teacher, said: “We also did this to mark the start of our celebrations for our head teacher, Mrs Nelson, who is sadly retiring at the end of this academic year.

“We will miss her so much but we thought a whole school picture could be something that she could treasure forever.”
