THE last three days before half-term provided Studley High School pupils with the chance to sample some activities which were a little different to their normal curriculum.

The school organised a huge range of events for the pupils, from Asian cooking and henna painting to gardening, plate making and short film making.

Pupils also enjoyed a trip back in time with the visit of a Roman soldier.

It is the second year the school has held the events.

Deputy headteacher Pat Lopeman said: "The sessions are a fantastic opportunity for pupils to relate both to their peers and teachers in a less formal context.

"It's a marvellous team building exercise for the entire school community."
