CAPED crusaders could be seen all round Marpool School last week when youngsters dressed as their favourite superheroes.

The nursery and foundation unit at the school, in Moorfield Road, held a superhero day last Friday.

Liz Threlfall, who co-ordinates the foundation stage, said the day was held as part of a school project about feeling happy and striving to achieve the best.

“We have been looking at what it takes to make a super hero: Kind hands, being a good friend and taking on responsibilities,” she said.

Liz added: “We have also had a visit from the fire service - real-life heroes - who came down to the school.”
