PUPILS at St Bridget's RC Primary School took to the stage yesterday, Wednesday, to boost their communication skills.

The old saying that children should be seen and not heard was totally left behind as the pupils joined forces with the Crag Rats theatre company for a drama performance and interactive workshop involving a host of colourful masked characters. The event was part of the BT Education Programme and looked at how advances in technology will change the way we communicate in the future.
