New Rickstones Academy pupils perform Haka at football match
Students from a Witham school joined 350 young people to perform a traditional Maori war dance at a football stadium.
Pupils from New Rickstones Academy in Conrad Road were given just an hour to rehearse before the kick-off at a League One match between Colchester United and Scunthorpe.
The dancers, who had learnt the routine with youth company Evolve and primary dance company Supernovaz, performed at half time.
They will do the dance again at Essex County Cricket Ground on May 13.
