Youngsters learned about diabetes during a day of dressing up and activities tied in with an awareness week.
St Bartholomew’s Primary School and Ladybirds Pre-school in West Pinchbeck joined forces to wear blue – the diabetes awareness “colour” – after being approached by Gemma Robinson, mum of four-year-old pre-school youngster Faith, who suffers from type 1 diabetes.
The two groups agreed to support Gemma’s efforts to raise awareness of the disease during Diabetes Awareness Week.
Gemma led an awareness-raising assembly and money was raised from the sale of diabetes bracelets.
St Bartholomew’s senior teacher Jackie Hutchinson said: “I think many of the children were surprised by how much diabetes can affect you and how even young children can learn to manage it.”
