Primary schools across the Melton Borough have been busy fund-raising once again for this year's Children in Need.

Various schools helped to raise money for the annual event by taking part in the ‘Big Spotacular.’

The spotacular programme invited schools across the country to do something ‘spotty’ in exchange for a donation to BBC Children in Need.
