A SKELETON joined the cast when young actors at a Worcester primary school performed their annual play.

Year Five children at St Barnabas Primary School, Green Lane, gave performances of Moving On in front of parents on Monday evening and then repeated the show yesterday in front of the whole school.

A total of 60 pupils aged nine and 10 took part in the play.

"The play was a musical about two children who go on a journey of discovery through a series of zones," explained Year Five teacher Allan Jenkins.

"They find messages relating to each zone. They discover the answer to the riddle is love and, at the end, Jesus appears.

The school was helped with the production by the neighbouring Bishop Perowne High School, which has performing arts status.
