HEATHFIELD Primary pupils got creative at home this week to thank the NHS.

The stay-at-home schoolchildren spread messages of joy, as they made colourful posters with rainbows and rays of sunshine.

One pupil, Charlie, used chalk to draw a huge rainbow to show support for frontline health workers.

Alfie and his baby brother Frankie showed their support to the NHS with bright posters.

And Amelia showed off her bright, cheery rainbows.

Scotland is in lockdown. Shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. We're not exaggerating when we say that the future of the Ayr Advertiser, and the vital local news service we've provided since 1803, is under threat.

Please consider supporting the Ayr Advertiser in whatever way you can – by paying just 90p for a copy of the paper, when you're shopping for essential supplies for yourself and others, or by subscribing to our e-edition here.

Thanks – and stay safe.
