CHILDREN have been taking part in drama workshops on the theme of communication.

Pupils from Oxclose Community School, in Washington, also staged a performance during the event, organised as part of the BT Education Programme.

The youngsters included

It is hoped the skills that pupils learned will help them prepare for the BT Schools Award, under which schools can win £2,000 for a citizenship project with a communications theme.
