MONTHS of hard work came to fruition for children at a North Yorkshire school when they performed Cinderella to parents and grandparents.

More than 70 children from Alne Primary School took part in a first performance.

Work on the production started in September and children have been meeting at the school's drama club every week, rehearsing under the guidance of teachers Emma Such and Melissa Draker.

A second performance will take place this evening.

The school's head teacher, Paul Platt, said the children were all really keen to take part and had enjoyed it thoroughly.
