BONKERS pupils and staff from Woodthorpe Primary School, York, went yellow for St Leonard's Hospice, to raise almost £350 for the £2million Millennium Appeal.

Nearly everyone arrived wearing something yellow and made a contribution to the Hospice 2000 Appeal as they did so.

Street entertainer Mr Yellow made a surprise visit to the school causing 15 minutes of yellow-faced mayhem.

Janet Morley, fundraising manager at St Leonard's Hospice said: "Woodthorpe School which is one of our constant supporters, really entered into the spirit of Wear Yellow Day and raised a fantastic amount for us. Many other schools and organisations took part and we are grateful to them all."
