Girl's classmates knew exactly what to do when they noticed she couldn't play outside

A group of schoolchildren are rallying around their friend so she is able to play outside.

Craig Trevett and his partner Jessica Bull, 27, from Skelmersdale, found out their daughter Isabelle had spina bifida at their 20 week scan. The condition causes a baby's spine and spinal cord not to develop properly in the womb, causing a gap in the spine.

It means six-year-old Isabelle has to use a wheelchair to get around and is also incontinent. Dad Craig, 33, said the first few years of Isabelle's life were particularly difficult and he and Jessica said they are glad the six-year-old "can't remember them".
