CHILDREN at a Hereford school have successfully learnt the art of playwriting, directing and performing during a six-week drama programme.

The primary 1 pupils at Brookfields School on Grandstand Road were visited each week by Lisa Joyce, director of the Found in the Forest Youth Theatre Company, based in the Forest of Dean.

They performed a final production in front of fellow pupils, teachers and parents.

"It was a fantastic effort by the children and it was enjoyed by all," said primary 1 teacher Sue Ford-Jones.
