Leicestershire primary school children have been enjoying an afternoon of being covered in paint.

Fortunately for mums and dads it wasn't wet paint!

6 thousand children were taking part in the first ever 'colour dash' with the involvement of 25 local schools. The children have been running onto their school field while their teachers throw coloured paint over them. It's all for a good cause - raising money to help disadvantaged children in our community.

Reporter Sara Palmer went along to Parks Primary school in Leicester to find out how it all went.
