CHILDREN at South Crosland Junior School have been showing off their creative skills in a week dedicated to artistic ventures.

Following on from their successful African themed art week, held in June, pupils have been participating in a range of activities with a winter theme.

Nine activities kept the pupils amused throughout the week, including claywork, music, drama, dance, printing, textiles, oil pastels, painting and ICT.

The children spent half a day with each activity, except for the final activity, which lasted a whole day.

Headteacher Richard Lindley believes the week was a huge success and the children, who worked in mixed age-groups especially enjoyed working with a variety of teachers.

Many parents were on hand to help and take part.
