SCHOOL pupils went skating crazy when their school hall was transformed into an ice rink for the afternoon.

Youngsters and parents from Benjamin Hargreaves CE School in Accrington were doing their Torville and Dean impressions when a dry ice skating arena was set up in the school.

Head teacher Daphne Durham explained: "The hall floor was covered with special boards that act like ice and allow you to really skate on them.

"It was held as a fund-raiser for the PTA, but mainly it was just a lot of fun for everyone."

The event raised around £100.
