Pupils in Barrow had a chance to learn about disabilities under the guidance of a sporting world champion.
Children from Cambridge Primary School enjoyed a taster wheelchair basketball session with Carlisle-based Nat Pattinson, who plays for Team GB.
They took the wheelchairs for a spin round the hall and discovered how perseverance and teamwork skills are important in the sport.
Teacher Emily Rebello, who organised the session, said: "It was a really fun session and a good way for the children to see how being disabled doesn’t stop you from achieving in sport.”

Among the participants were Year Five pupils who said they had enjoyed seeing how sports can be adapted for people with different needs.
"I thought it was a great experience," one member of the class added.
"It was good to see how someone with disabilities might get involved in sport.”
