YOUNGSTERS were thrilled not to be exterminated when a life-size Dr Who Dalek visited their school. The model visited Thornton House School and Nursery Assessment Unit in Wyld's Lane, Worcester, much to the delight of children at the special school. Headteacher Hugh Thomas said: "It went down extremely well and generated a lot of interest. They were very excited and it didn't exterminate anybody so we were okay there." The model belongs to a friend of governor Nigel Wake, who persuaded him to loan it to the school for a couple of hours on Friday. Pictured are, from front, Kashmire Hawker, Emma-Jane Chamberlaine, Reece Rogers-Burley and Jordan Butler with Mr Wake, of Worcester Rotary Club. Picture by John Anyon. 20037701
