PUPILS at St Peter's School, Devizes, were this week having fun with the £1,500 of equipment they chose as part of their prize in winning the Gazette's Hold the Front Page competition in July.
The panel of judges, including Gazette editor Gary Lawrence, unanimously chose the St Peter's Times as the best of 23 entries from primary schools throughout the Gazette's circulation area.
The team of 39 pupils also won a trip to Legoland at Windsor. The new equipment, which was contributed by The Consortium in Trowbridge, one of the sponsors of the competition, arrived at the school last week.
It included a huge parachute and a book showing the kinds of games that could be played using it, an educational skeleton called Bony Tony and a wide range of science, art and design equipment.
Teacher Julia Wright said: "The pupils were very excited to get all the new equipment. As well as being fun to use, it will help us deliver the National Curriculum at the school."
