INFANT school pupils in Darlington were given a taste of the Orient in a cookery class.
The Polam Hall School youngsters were joined by 11-year-old Amy Yuen, a boarder from Hong Kong, to prepare Chinese spicy noodles with fresh ginger and garlic.
The sessions were part of the youngsters' current studies of food and other cultures.
Junior school headteacher Angela Foster said: "We always encourage diversity.
"The girls are always enthusiastic about cookery lessons as it gives them a chance to be creative and get involved in an interesting activity, while learning important lessons in food safety and hygiene."
