YOUNG people recreated the dangers facing children online in a new film.

Pupils at St Ethelberts RC Primary School in Deane produced and star in the ten minute short entitled "Stings" with help from The Harmony Youth Project to help children recognise bad friendships in everyday life and on line.

Children from Years Five and Six wrote the film and were involved in directing, filming, lighting and audio recording.

And as part of the project, which they worked on a hour a week over seven months, children tool part in a group discussion about the dangers of chat rooms and online interaction.

Mandy Messham, headteacher at St Ethelberts said “Working closely with the Harmony Youth Project has provided our children with such an exciting opportunity - it's not every day that St. Ethelbert's pupils have the chance to be film stars! An added bonus is that the children were able to use their talents to highlight such key messages regarding the importance of fostering positive relationships and using social media safely. The entire school community was so impressed by the finished outcome."

The whole school along with parents viewed the premier showing where copies of the film and award certificates were presented to the proud group by Halliwell based Harmony Youth Project CEO Charlie Barrett at Harmony.

Project co-ordinator George Ellis said “the children and staff at St Ethelberts are a delight to work with and I’m extremely proud of their group work in delivering this project.
