A 'NUTTY' Weston teacher dressed as a giant red squirrel for the day to raise money for an animal charity.

Hazel Costin taught youngsters at Ashbrooke House School while dressed as the woodland creature, complete with buck teeth, furry ears and a bushy tail.

Hazel raised about �100 through sponsorship, which will be donated to Secret World Wildlife Rescue in East Huntspill.

Debbie O'Keefe from the charity also went along to chat to youngsters about Secret World and took a snake.
