CHILDREN from Swell Primary School were thrilled to meet Pudsey Bear on Thursday, November 14 as they waited for Team Rickshaw, raising money for BBC Children in Need to pass through the area.

The convoy was enroute from Cheltenham to Oxford on its way back to London and had almost finished the task to ride for 700 miles.

Despite the chilly weather the children waited patiently and cheered the convoy on as it passed.

They were particularly thrilled when Pudsey Bear stopped to see them and play with them.

The school held a non school uniform day on Friday with a Talent Show after school to raise funds for the charity.
