DRAMATIC African masks and colourful South American ponchos were just some of the unusual items made by pupils at St James Primary School during a multicultural arts week.

The whole school was involved in the arts activities and, after a week working on models, masks, paintings, poetry and dance, pupils invited their parents to the school to view displays of their handiwork and watch performances.

Karen Surrall, headteacher at the Malvern school, said: "We're a very creative school and the week was to broaden the children's experience of other cultures and give them lots of opportunities to be creative."
