Watch: Pudsey surprises pupils during PE lesson

Pudsey Bear gave Year 7 pupils a surprise when he turned up at a school PE lesson on Wednesday morning.

The children were playing dodgeball at Park Community School in Havant, Hampshire, when the BBC Children in Need mascot was introduced by Olympic silver medallist Iwan Thomas.

The visit was aimed at encouraging more schools to sign up to Children in Need's Run for Pudsey campaign.

Schools can sign up any time before Children in Need day, which returns this year on Friday 13 November.
