YOUNGSTERS at a Worcester school have had a taste of original Antipodean life during the school's art week.

The pupils from Thornton House School, in Wyld's Lane, had a go on the didgeridoo, the instrument that was made famous in the UK by television star Rolf Harris.

"They have been having a great time during the arts week," said headteacher Hugh Thomas.

"They were brilliant with the didgeridoos. Some of them got a great tone. It will be a great stress-buster for them."

They were also visited by pupils of RNIB New College, which is based on Whittington Road, who entertained the youngsters with music.
