Youngsters from Nantwich primary schools enjoyed an action-packed week of activities at South Cheshire College.
Primary College 2012 gave up to 1,200 primary school children the chance to try new activities, from beauty and break dancing to felt making and falconry.
Sporting activities were also on offer including tag rugby, quick cricket, athletics and Korf Ball.
Primary College, now in its 18th year, brought together youngsters from over 30 primary schools in Crewe and Nantwich.
It’s designed to offer an experience of college at an early age and many sign up for courses once they leave high school.
Mike Finney, head of schools liaison at South Cheshire College, said: “Every year Primary College gets bigger and better and this week was no different to previous events.
“Youngsters turned their hands to a complete range of activities and the aim of the week was to give primary school children the chance to try fun, new activities and get a taste for further education.”
College staff, students and ex-students gave their time voluntarily to help and children were able to choose from up to 35 different options in advance.
Local high schools including Sir William Stanier, Ruskin, St Thomas More, Shavington and King’s Grove supported the event.
Mayor of Cheshire East Cllr George Walton also attended.
Primary College 2012 was sponsored by local businesses and organisations including Cheshire East Council, Cheshire Police, Cheshire Fire Service, Blue Cross, Chatwins, British Transport Police, Nutalls and Speight of the Art.
Mike added: “Primary College is very much a team effort which is supported by staff and students at college and members of the local community.
“I’d like to say a big thank-you to everyone who helped to make Primary College such a successful event again this year.”
