Pentland Primary School pupils wore orange last week in support of one of their classmates.
Eight-year-old Savannah was born with the rare genetic disorder Prader Willi syndrome, which affects development and growth as well as causing an excessive appetite which can lead to obesity.
Acting assistant principal at the Darley school, Sue Collinson said pupils wore bright orange T-shirts and took part in activities, arts and crafts to raise awareness of the syndrome.
They also made donations to raise money for Prader Willi research.
Ms Collinson said the day helped the pupils learn about diversity.
“It’s important for them to know about Prader Willi because this syndrome affects one of their classmates and they’ll come across other people that have it.
“You don’t realise Savannah has it when you first meet her but she does have some learning and speech difficulties because of it.
“It also makes the children aware of what they can do to help Savannah in her daily life.”
