This group of primary school pupils have shown they are rather handy with a hammer and screwdriver.

In a break from their usual lessons, the children from Kincraig Primary School showed off their skills as they built nest boxes for the local birds.

Year four teacher Connor Bracegirdle said the activities were about creating the ‘responsible citizens of the future’.

He added: “They have created nest boxes and bird feeders. It’s really about enhancing and preserving nature.

“It’s a fun and unique way of doing it and the kids absolutely love it.

“Being outside the classroom, using hammers and screwdrivers to create something, it’s not something they normally do at primary level.”
