Pupils dance to celebrate railway
Pupils from Littleham and Lympstone Primary Schools teamed up on an art project, which ended with them entertaining rail users.
Some 60 pupils from schools in Exmouth and Lympstone danced on the cycle path to mark the end of an inter-school project about railways.
Youngsters from Littleham Primary School and Lympstone Primary School teamed up on the art project in celebration of the history and landscape of Exmouth.
During the two-day railway project the children spent time at both schools, taking part in art activities and dance.
Teacher Rosemary Roberts said the pupils experimented with a variety of art media to show the local landscape as seen from a train window.
