Chinese New Year proved an inspiration for pupils at Woodstock Primary School.

Four- and five-year-olds in the foundation stage class paraded through the town with their own dragon to the Chinese Chef Imperial restaurant. Teachers stopped the traffic on Oxford Road to escort the youngsters, waving ribbons and bells, to accompany the dragon on its way.

Teacher Glynnis Eastwood said: "Apart from making the dragon, they've learned about Chinese food, includng their special bowls and chopsticks."
