Primary school children swapped books and pens to learn warrior skills.
About 150 children from St Andrews Primary School in Hitchin had an hour session with members from Ultim8, a group which teaches pupils aged between five-15 different forms of physical exercise.
The event took place on Friday at the Benslow Lane school playing field .
Pupils from Years 1 to Year 5 took part in Zulu spear throwing, Roman shield games and a obstacle course challenge.
Ultim8 was started up by Hitchin resident Daniel Scott after he left Bournemouth University last year, where he studied sport coaching and psychology. He said: “It was a great event and the children all managed to get around the course.
