THERE was magic in the air when a group of tots celebrated the end of term.

Staff at St Oswalds' pre-school nursery, which meets at Rubery Leisure Centre, held a week of activities to mark the event.

One of the highlights was a visit from magician and entertainer Will E Droppit, who is also known as Ronnie Antony.

Will E Droppit kept the tots and their parents spell-bound with magic tricks, balloon-modelling, juggling and plate-spinning.

"The children really enjoyed it," said nursery supervisor Lesley Bisseker. "We wanted to do something special because a lot of the children are leaving us to go to school.

"They come to us as toddlers and leave as young people."
