FAIRY DUST gave an extra sparkle to lessons at an Oxford school, when pupils made their own mystic wands and shields.
The Fairyland Trust visited Rye St Antony School, in Headington, on Wednesday to teach girls aged three-11 about British trees, plants and animals – and help them make items from from hazel, elder and willow.
Junior school headteacher Jo Reed said: “So many children know all the names of Pokemon characters but not the names of native British trees and wildlife.
“The day was great fun, full of creativity, and brought a real awareness of nature.”
Pupil Maria Badell Grau, 10, said: “It was fun, and we learned all about the different animals.”
Nine-year-old Victoria Oge-Evansm, pictured left with Bethany Abson, and Maria Badell Grau, said: “It was a magical day.”
