Year 3 students celebrated completing an animation project with a gala premiere of their finished films.
More than 150 parents and families packed the school hall to watch the animations, based on Little Red Riding Hood, Rumpelstiltskin and Cinderella.
The films were made with the help of Ilfracombe Arts College's Community Media Coordinator Peter Cooper who also produced DVDs of the films for pupils to take home.
Olly Brown, head of Year 3, said: "The project required a very wide range of skills but was also great fun.
"We were so impressed with what the students had created, we decided to hold a premiere to share it with parents.
"Everyone had a great time and the pupils were very pleased to accept their awards."
