SOUTH Petherwin school playground was turned into an outdoor skatepark for the joint school parent teacher association (PTA) and parish council autumn fun day at the weekend. 

Throughout the morning children from the ages three to 13 had a go on the various ramps with bikes, skateboards and scooters.

Theo Hoskin, aged eight, said: "I loved it! Please come again."

Other  comments from the children included: 'Really good fun', 'great it was the best school event ever'  and 'loved it'.

Parents thought it was an "excellent" event and many commented that it had been 'safe and fun', asking for it to be done again.
