A CD of music and poetry by pupils at Malvern Parish Primary School is now available to the public.

The school orchestra and choir contributed tracks to the hour-long CD, which was recorded at the school last week.

Music teacher Jane Forrester said parents had been asking the school to do a CD for some time.

When a brochure from The Schools' Music Recording Project arrived at Malvern Parish Pirmary, the decision was made to go ahead with the CD. A mobile recording studio was brought in and music and poetry recorded.

Year 5 pupil Amelia Keen designed the cover for the CD, which is now available from the school at £12.

Mrs Forrester said the children had thoroughly enjoyed making the recording.

"They thought it was fantastic," she said. "They had a very exciting day and were very well behaved and focused. It was hard work."

Profits from sales of the CD will go towards the cost of bringing in artists for the school's performing arts week next year.
