For some PE lessons were hated, but for many it was a welcome break from the classroom and a great chance to have fun.
It was certainly the latter for children in our latest gallery of sporting days at schools around town.
We’ve got a young football team from Werrington Primary School, netball players from Arthur Mellows Village College and Peterborough School and Thomas Deacon Academy amongst others.
