Children in Need: Pudsey Bear joins children at Peterborough's Nova Primary Academy

With the big Children in Need appeal in full swing, children at a Peterborough primary school had a very special visitor on Tuesday (November 11).

Pudsey Bear the trip Nova Primary Academy in Peterborough, much to the delight of pupils and staff alike!

The face of the BBC appeal surprised children in Years 3 to 6 during their Children in Need assembly before joining the younger classes for a fun-filled game of ‘musical bears’.

Pudsey also took time to meet with the School Council, chatting with them about their efforts to support Children in Need and how the school helps to make a difference.
