CHILDREN at a Launceston school are jumping with joy, following a sponsored bounce event.

The Friends of Windmill Hill Academy held a sponsored bounce in aid of school funds.

Karin Clark from the Academy said: "Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and after a practise bounce counted how many bounces they could do in a minute."

More than £1,000 has been raised and the school hopes it will become an annual event.

Karin added: "Thank you to all the parents friends and family for sponsoring their children and a big thank you to Chris Brown 'Discoman' who donated the Bouncy Castle free of charge."
