CHILDREN from some of North Yorkshire's primary schools got a peek at the world of work when they took part in a business project.

Pupils from several schools - including St Mary's RC Primary in Malton - visited local firms during the scheme.

They looked round hotels, garden centres and supermarkets, and then produced a range of art work based on their experiences.

Head teacher Katherine Snape worked with the Year Five and Six pupils, who all said they loved working on the paint and prose project.

Pupils who took part in the project were invited to a display of their work at Helmsley Arts Centre, where they received certificates from the Ryedale Business and Education Partnership.
