Teachers at two Blackburn schools share their imaginative ideas for using scrap materials in the classroom. At Feniscowles Primary School Year 3 teacher Kelvin Wilkins uses a safari theme. Pupils develop their planning skills as they work in groups to design and create their own African animal. At St Mary's and St Joseph's Primary School, art co-ordinator Simone Addy uses a puppet to motivate her Year 1 class to work collaboratively to build a house out of scrap materials. In Laura Ellis's Year 4 class pupils develop their key skills in investigating materials and problem solving as they create their own Indian-inspired hats.
