Children across West Cumbria have been baking, dancing and dressing up in support of this year's Children In Need campaign.

Pupils have put on their Pudsey ears and went the extra mile to help raise money for the national charity today.

Beckstone Primary School in Harrington had children dressed as Pudsey Bear, a performance of a Pudsey dance and students had made cakes to sell for the cause.

Star student Mason Congdon managed to raise an impressive £97 from selling some of his old toys.

David Warbrick, headteacher of Beckstone, said: “We had an assembly this morning and everybody gave him a round of applause, he's done a really good job.”

Seaton CofE Junior School have been raising money from a non-uniform day, all students are involved in having some fun for the charitable cause.

Students from West Lakes Academy in Egremont have been painting faces with Pudsey Bar paw prints, running a tombola and even had a game of 'egg roulette' with the staff, where two people slap eggs onto each-others' heads without the knowledge of whether they are raw or hard-boiled.
