PUPILS from Ayresome Junior School, Middlesbrough, found out about wildlife while improving their creative skills at Lingfield Farm Countryside Centre, yesterday.

Year six youngsters undertook a range of exercises on an animal theme, including felt making.

Middlesbrough Borough Council organised the event to prepare the pupils for their eventual move to secondary school.

Trevor Hutchinson, year six co-ordinator at the school, said: "This experience at Lingfield Farm Countryside Centre is invaluable, helping to develop social and independence skills."
