The rhythms of Africa pounded through Fir Tree School at Wallingford as part of an art week involving local schools.

Children worked with the Thanbani Nyoni dance group on Tuesday. Yesterday, pupils tried their hand at African drumming.

The art week involved schools in Benson, Wallingford, Crowmarsh, Cholsey and Brightwell-cum-Sotwell. Funding from the Oxfordshire Educational Trust for the Development of the Arts also allowed visiting artist Debi Keyte to work with local children.
