PUPILS from Dr Walker's Primary School, Fyfield had a flipping good time at the final of county-wide primary school gymnastics competition, held at the Riverside Leisure Centre, Chelmsford on Saturday.

Both a girls and boys team from the school had made it through to the final with eight other schools for the first time, and they by no means disgraced themselves by finishing in fifth in both categories.

Head teacher Linda Sherman said: "We are very proud of the children for reaching the final, which was a great achievement in itself.

" A lot of hard work had gone into preparations and it is all thanks to their class teacher Suzy Yates who has conducted two practice sessions a week and we are very proud of the way they performed."
