Youngsters from a Clacton school have been filmed for a new television programme.

UP2U is a new television programme for children, which will be shown on CITV.

Pupils from Year seven, eight and nine at Clacton County High School were on the beach yesterday filming a section for the show.

The programme aims to look at different issues which children face.

Youngsters will get the chance to talk about things happening in their lives and what matters to them.

For filming on Wednesday, pupils took on a seaside challenge.

A team of three girls and another of three boys battled it out to test who was better boys or girls.

They had a number of challenges, including the first to put on flippers, snorkel and an inflatable ring and race into the sea and who was the best on an arcade dancing machine
