Last night it was the turn of primary school pupils to showcase their talents and dress to impress at The Peterborough Children's Film Awards at the Broadway Theatre ceremony.

The evening was hosted by Star Wars, Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia star Warwick Davis, who welcomed the hundreds of children and teachers to the evening, before, in true Hollywood style he introduced the first set of clips from the nominated films.

And after the winners of each award had been on stage to collect their prize, they were ushered away to pose for the waiting photographers.

One of the first winners on the night was Heritage Park school, who picked up the Nursery/Reception documentary gong for their film about their local postman.

The school won two awards on the night, and after picking up their first, teacher Claire Freeman said: "We were not expecting this at all. All the children thoroughly enjoyed making the video, and we are all very happy."

Barnack Primary was another to take home two of the glittering statuettes, including the prize for year three and four best documentary, 'The Accidental Discovery That Saves Lives.'

Pupil James Alexander, who directed the film said: "It is all pretty insane. I was really nervous going up on stage, but now I want to carry on making films."
