Many children in Barrow attended school in non-uniform or pyjamas with the morning seeing plenty of baking challenges, Pudsey-themed activities and pyjamas.

Dane Ghyll Community Primary School and Nursery took a trip out to support the cause.

"We also took our reception pupils on a cinema trip in their pyjamas to see the Butterfly Tale.

"We are hoping to raise over £300."

Vickerstown Primary and Nursery School pupils decided to come to school in their pyjamas or wear a splash of yellow in their clothing.

Throughout the day, they baked and sold delicious cakes and did Pudsey-themed activities.
