A FUN session combining exercise and drumming proved to be a huge hit with children.

Youngsters at Cleveland Preparatory School in Heaton were introduced to the popular Drumz Aloud session.

It combines fitness with music, movement and rhythm, with children hitting a exercise ball with drum sticks to the beat of loud music.

Staff said the idea was to introduce children to different forms of exercise and, given they were having so much fun, they didn't realise they were working out at the same time!
