PUPILS at Great Sankey Primary are looking forward to messing around in a new outdoor play area that staff at the school are planning to build.

And kind-hearted parents and residents have been donating tyres of all shapes and sizes to help create fun activities for the children.

Teachers are hoping to develop the land around the back of the Liverpool Road school to include an area where pupils can practice their gardening skills, work on problem solving activities and read in the great outdoors.
