Pupils from Barley and Barkway Federation School have said goodbye to their friends at Margaret House care home in Royston following an intergenerational project.
Year 3 pupils in Beech Class have spent the last year enjoying weekly reading sessions and monthly lunches with the care home residents.

Beech Class's teacher Mrs Porter said: "It's been wonderful to see the children grow in confidence during the year as they met with their older 'buddies'."
The home's wellbeing manager Lea-Ann Smith added: "Residents got so much pleasure from spending meaningful time with the children."
The project will start again in September with the new Year 3 pupils.
