Working with artist Karen Stansfield, pupils create puppet and cartoon characters in a variety of media. These are then used by them to produce posters and comics, which promote healthy eating and lifestyle. In addition to creative arts skills, language and communication aspects of the curriculum are also developed.

Initial projects have taken place in schools in Eastmoor in Wakefield. Pupils produced highly colourful and creative comics full of puzzles and healthy recipes and facts about a healthy lifestyle.


Pupils at Greenhill Primary School created a range of characters & articles for their comic!
