A GAMES library based on solving mathematics problems has been opened at a Trimdon school.
The Friends of St William's RCVA Primary School worked hard to raise funds to buy the games to mark numeracy year.
More than 100 maths games, costing £1,000, have been bought.
Marks and Spencer's store in Durham provided storage and display units, and parents helped to categorise, label and list the contents.
There are enough games for each child to borrow a new one every three weeks. Regular maths workshops have been introduced in school, when the games can be used.
To mark the opening, 200 balloons were launched from the school. There is a prize of £20 to the purchaser and finder of the balloon which travels furthest.
