Art attack: nature came to life for Jordan Harte and Sharlotte Francis-Rogers, both five, and Luke Noble-Smith, four, this week. The trio and other pupils at Underhill Infant School, in Barnet, pieced together a mosaic of a rainforest with the help of a resident artist. The 9ft by 3ft creation will take pride of place in the courtyard at the Mays Lane school. "We are encouraging children to respect nature and the environment so it fits in well with their school work," said head teacher Elizabeth Moore. "The children loved doing it and can't wait to see it up."
