Sisters Rosie and Poppy Way have given back to their primary school - by raising £1,000 for new equipment during a lockdown marathon challenge.
Rosie, nine, and Poppy, six, had hoped to raise £200 for Steeple Bumpstead Primary School by running the total distance of a marathon during the third national coronavirus shutdown.
However, their fundraising surpassed all expectations when they reached £1,000 for their school s resource fund.
Proud parents Jon and Louisa said: “The girls decided they wanted to do something for their local school to say thank you for all the incredible support the school has given to pupils and parents alike.

Plans showing what a new 66-bed care home in Postwick could look like

Papers submitted with the application say: The site is seen as an excellent opportunity to provide a new purpose-built care facility. It would not only serve as identified local need but would also be highly accessible to the community, providing both service and employment.
The Yorkshire-based developer has been behind around 100 care homes nationwide since 2005, largely in either the North or the Midlands.
It is also the firm that was behind plans to build an identical-sized facility in Nightjar Way in Holt.
However, this plan was refused by North Norfolk District Council in September 2019 - before the developer then lost an appeal with the Planning Inspectorate in July of last year, with an inspector agreeing the scheme would not fit with the character of the surrounding area.

Work is under way to build a new branch of supermarket Lidl on the outskirts of Norwich.
The German food retailer was last year granted permission by Broadland Council to build a new branch on and off Poppy Way in Postwick, close to the entrance to the Northern Distributor Road.
Now, work has started to construct the new 1,256msq store at Broaldand Gate, which once opened will create around 40 new jobs in the area.
Andrew Hodgkinson, Lidl s regional head of property, said: There has been much anticipation for this new Lidl store and it is great that we are now in a position to break the ground and start construction. This would mark our fourth store in Norwich.
