YOUNGSTERS fresh from crossing continents in the classroom, show off their Africa-inspired craft creations.

The Rodbourne Cheney Primary School pupils have spent the term learning more about life in Africa.

Every class in the school - from reception to Year 6 - have got involved in the project.

It has seen them discover Africa through books like Mufaro's Beautiful Daughter and Handa's Surprise - then respond to what they've learned by creating stunning art works.

The art - which includes "African" masks and paintings - has been displayed on the walls of the Rodbourne Cheney school.

Ida Coombs, community tutor, said: "It is a celebration of the fantastic hard work of all the children and staff."

Year 2 teacher Hannah Pajak said: "The children have planned their pieces meticulously and have tried out new techniques including weaving, printing and drawing."

Writing in a visitor book at the "African art gallery" exhibition, visitors praised the children's creativity.

Laura Jones said: "What a lovely bunch of colourful pictures. Lots of hard work by children and staff."
