YOUNGSTERS at a town school were allowed to clown around when a circus group came to visit.

Pupils at Meadows First School, in Stourbridge Road, got the chance to dress up as clowns when they were visited by Shooting Stars Circus Skills last week.

The budding performers also had the chance to learn how to juggle and walk a tight rope at the week-long workshop, which finished with a performance for parents last Friday.

School secretary Louise Beck said: "The children had a great time and really enjoyed the week. The parents also enjoyed watching them perform their skills."
