Simon Mathias teaches tai chi to pupils. DA4768P8A NEW lesson has been introduced to pupils at Amesbury Infants' School and it is proving popular.

Parent Simon Mathias, a devotee of tai chi, has started a fortnightly session for youngsters at the school, and the children love it.

Headteacher Dawn Chamberlain was more than happy to include tai chi as an extra-curricular lesson and Mr Mathias found there was no shortage of volunteers wanting to learn the technique.

Staff and pupils have also benefited from out-of-school-hours work carried out by parents to the school library.

The library has been given a facelift and spring clean.
