Children followed in the footsteps of their Dancing On Ice heroes after their school playground was turned into an ice rink.

Youngsters at Bowling Park Primary School in West Bowling, Bradford, got their skates on and attempted to glide around as part of a special week of events. SMILE – Super, Magical, Inspirational, Learning Environment – week was introduced by head teacher Stuart Herrington to allow the children to have a week off-timetable in which they learn and think in different ways.

During the event they experience many new, exciting activities such as dance, a Dracula theme drama day, cooking and tree-planting.
