CHILDREN at St Vincent's Primary School on Finlay Avenue in Penketh are taking part in a week of health and fitness in their half-term thanks to a Healthy Heroes' programme.

Mike McGreal, former teacher at the school and creator of Healthy Heroes, said: "It has been a great success.

"Children who wouldn't normally take part in out of school sport have really enjoyed themselves, which is our main aim."

Mike teamed up with Andy Ault, from ABC coaching, to host the event.

Michael Manning, aged 11, who attended the programme, said: "It's a brilliant way to keep fit and we've had loads of fun."
