Children hunted coloured pebbles to claim Easter eggs donated by a building society.

The pebbles were hidden in the grounds of Bardwell School, Hendon Place, Bicester, and pupils, including eight-year-old Martin Singleton, pictured, had to search for the stones.

Parents paid for their children to take part and the profit went towards the sensory garden in a courtyard at the special school.

Stephen Raven and Nicola Sexton from Coventry Building Society's branch in Sheep Street, Bicester, delivered the eggs as part of its Tender Loving Care Community Programme.

Mr Raven said: "We gave 100 Easter eggs for the third consecutive year because we feel the school's fundraising for a sensory garden is a worthwhile cause."
