THE art of origami is one of the activities which has helped a Herefordshire primary school scoop a national teaching award.
Masayo Long, an expert in paper folding has been at the Lord Scudamore School as part of an initiative in which youngsters learn about other countries.
Masayo, who comes from Japan but has now lives in the county, showed students how to turn paper into all kinds of objects.
The Arts Council of England has given the Lord Scudamore School, which has 500 pupils aged between four and 11, the Artsmark Gold Award.
It is awarded to school in recognition of its work in promoting the arts.
"We cover as many aspects of the subject as possible including music, dance, crafts and art and design," said Sue Lyons who is arts co-ordinator.
