Children from Lees Primary School have played their part in the Oxfam appeal for the youngsters who have suffered as a result of the earthquake.
The school came up with an inventive way of collecting money for the appeal by drawing a life-size outline of both the tallest and the smallest child in the school and asking the children to attempt to cover the bodies with money.
The appeal has been a great success, with the bodies of Lorna Taylor, 11, and Rees Hart, 4, now entirely covered in coins, ranging from pennies to pounds.
Although the exact amount raised is not known, teacher Elisabeth Hustwick is delighted with the response.
Mrs Hustwick, the School's Key Stage Two co-ordinator, says: "The idea was in connection with several assemblies which have been about the earthquake and the appeal and as a result we decided to start our own collection."
