'Since Elias left us he's still having an impact'

A school is fundraising for a sensory garden in memory of their pupil Elias, who died from a rare brain tumour in March, one day after his fifth birthday.

St Mary's Church of England Primary School in Writhlington, near Radstock, is holding a penalty shootout fundraiser on Tuesday to contribute towards the cost of the garden.

The pupils at the school were set to dress up in red and blue, a nod to Elias' love for Spiderman.

Jake Hearne, Elias' dad, said: "He had quite a big impact on a lot of people. Since he's left us he's continued to have an impact. He was a special little boy and brought people together."
