ARTISTIC youngsters at a Spa school have been putting their talents to the test by transforming a corridor into a magnificent tropical rainforest.

Close to 90 children at Chawson First School have been making animals and foliage to form a rainforest at the school.

The six and seven-year-olds began the work by making wild animal models as part of a literacy project. The youngsters then transformed their corridor as a place for the animals to live.

Headteacher Jerry Hughes said: "I think it's wonderful and has changed an ordinary corridor into a completely different environment."
