A REDDITCH first school has created its own rainforest inspired by a project on tropical conditions.

A mural has been painted at Vaynor First School and has been designed to form part of a quiet sitting area for younger pupils close to the playground.

The project has been paid for by the Headless Cross school's PTA and includes decking work and plants.

A school spokesman said the official opening was made even more memorable by a visit from "Rainforest Man" Dave Shaw.
