YOUNGSTERS at a Wisbech primary school are to have an amphitheatre to act out their plays and productions.
Work should begin next month on the ambitious programme, which will transform the grounds at Elm Road School with the building of a small pavilion, shelters and extension of the play area.
A cycle shed and bin stores have also been included.
Pupils are being asked to come up with ideas for sponsored activities which will help raise the money for the ambitious project.
A school spokesman said: "Pupils will be able to sit in groups in the amphitheatre and use it for class performances and rehearsals. It will have a stage area and staggered seating.
"At the moment our playground is pretty basic and all these things will give the children something to do.
"The school is funding the majority of the work and we will be starting some fund-raising soon with sponsored events."
It is hoped the work on the wooden structures will begin before the end of the summer term and be completed when school starts again in September.
