YEAR five and six pupils at Threshfield Primary School are polishing up their writing skills to appeal to a world-wide audience.

They are taking part in the Lend Me Your Literacy scheme - now in 100 countries - where children 'publish' their work online and get feedback and comments from other children across the globe.

The scheme, which has been going for two years, has been hailed as a great motivator for pupils to improve their writing standards.

New teacher Richard Cook has led the introduction of the scheme.
