YOUNGSTERS were given a lesson in African culture and traditions at a mask-making and story-telling workshop.

As part of its Book Week, Year 2 pupils from Hawes Down Infant School, The Mead, West Wickham, were treated to a masterclass in making African clay masks by Nigerian Tony Ogogo, from African Ceramic Arts.

Headteacher Gill Duffin said: "The visit was arranged to extend multi- cultural links and to bring African culture to life for our pupils."
