PUPILS at Lewtrenchard Primary School made use of the news in an innovative recycling project, with copies of the Times being put to good use. The school took part in a Young Enterprise Project, working with other small schools in the area, and took out a business loan which had to be turned into a profit in 12 weeks. Six Year 5 and 6 pupils led the project: Harry Williams, Pete Yeo, Joel Stephens, Harry Vigers, Charlotte Hughes and Thomas Batstone. Their mentor was local businessman Bob Westlake, who went into the school to work with them. A Spring Fair was organised on March 14 to celebrate Einstein's birthday — he would have been 129! — and slices of a birthday cake were sold. Newspapers, including our own, had been used to make carrier bags during lunch breaks, which were then sold at the fair. Smaller bags were 25p and larger ones 50p. As the event was also part of the British Association of Science week, experiments were set up for the children to enjoy, and there was an Easter egg hunt and sporting activities. A magazine was published, sponsored by three local businesses, and the Friends of Lewtrenchard School helped in organising the fair. The total profit from the day was £112.85. l Pictured are pupils with some of the recycled carrier bags that made the news!
