PUPILS at Cullingworth Village Primary School have been displaying their creative talents.

The children took part in an art and design technology project, which culminated with their handiwork being showcased to parents.

Pupils across all year groups were involved in activities, and each class produced pieces of art.

Parents and carers were invited to walk through the main school corridor, where there was a gallery of the artwork, with musical accompaniment.

They then viewed products that had been made by the children as part of design technology and there was a chance to buy items, with the proceeds being reinvested into school projects.

Reception children had created planters for winter flowers, while students in years 1 and 2 crafted wind chimes using metal rods and recycled household items such as old cutlery and washers.

Pupils in years 3 and 4 produced bird nesting boxes, learning to use tools and hardware.

And Year 5 and 6 youngsters foraged for natural materials to design and build their own miniature bug hotels.

A spokesperson for the school said: "The overwhelming support from parents and the local community was instrumental in bringing this ambitious project to life. Their generosity in donating tools and materials was invaluable.

"A special 'thank you' goes to Lee Cornforth, Faithfull Tools, Pickard Hardware, Arnold Laver, Laura Wilkinson, Charlie Pullan and Richard Sutcliffe for their contributions. An extra heartfelt thanks goes to Ash Baldwin, whose efforts in organising a crowdfunding campaign and co-ordinating the project logistics made a significant impact. Both Ash and Laura, who are school parents, also went the extra mile by sourcing and cutting wood for the projects.

"Finally, a huge 'thank you' goes to the Cullingworth Village Primary School team. Despite their busy schedules, everyone found the time to bring all of this to life – from creating beautiful Monet-themed art displays and a specially-constructed bridge, to teaching with confidence and making this project a reality. Thank you."
