THE sound of tom-tom drums has been ringing out at a Worcester infants' school as pupils learned about, and celebrated, African culture.

Pupils at Northwick Manor Infants School enjoyed an African Arts Week, involving music, dance, drama and art.

The four to seven-year-olds have been making 3D models of ostriches, African jewellery and a wall hanging from paint and fabric, depicting an African jungle scene.

Arts co-ordinator at the Northwick Road school, Sara Stanley, put together the programme, which included eating African food.

The African Arts Week will culminate in a concert, featuring African drumming, at the school this afternoon.
