STARRY-eyed toddlers turned a blank wall into a Christmas collage in a bid to buy a new classroom on Monday.

Youngsters at Kingfisher pre-school, at Bitham Brook Primary School, in Westbury spent three weeks decorating stars to raise sponsorship.

The pre-school needs another £7,000 for a new mobile classroom to replace the old building.

Parent Denise Williams said: "We have been trying to raise money all year with lots of different events. The kids have been sponsored to decorate the classroom with a Christmas star collage, they also held a ball and made and sold little key rings with their pictures on."

Pre-school leaders have been searching for a new mobile classroom after asbestos was first found in the walls. It has been made safe, but the building needs replacing as it is falling into disrepair.
