Pupils at Great Dunmow Primary School dressed up and took part in activities to raise money for Children in Need.

The costume theme was 'spots' and 'wild and wacky', and children took on their class teachers for the 'reindeer antler challenge'.

"Parents' donations have already topped £400 and we are still collecting."
