YOUNGSTERS at Cefn Fforest Primary school treated their friends in the special needs department to three new bicycles.

The school's council raised £2,000 through a bring and buy sale, an easter raffle and a circuits challenge, in which children were sponsored to complete a unique exercise course.

Teacher Rebecca Bartley, who helps the children to run their council, said: "The children had a meeting and they all agreed that this would be a great way to spend the money."

She added: "I'm extremeley proud of them, they worked very hard."
