School dinners were never like this! Pastry was flying and lips smacking at a very special geography lesson for 30 primary school children. This is the fun way to find out about Italy, tucking into a good pizza. The children, eight and nine-year-olds from class 7 at St Theresa's Primary School, Penwortham, had gone along to Angelo's pizza restaurant in Avenham Street, Preston, to see how real Italian pizzas are made - and what they taste like Photo: RETRO

Pupils at Penwortham Girls' High School have a double cause for celebration.

The girls organised a fashion show which featured designs from many popular town centre stores. They are pictured above Photo: RETRO
