The children from Edleston Primary, Crewe, have even set up a section defending JK Rowling's creation from critics, who have tried to ban her novels from some American schools. Pupils have deftly countered arguments that the books promote witchcraft, are too violent and may encourage children to dabble in drugs believing they are potions. Now the children's efforts have earned the school a national website award for its innovative internet work. O ne unusual idea has been having infants devise their own stories which are then transformed into animation by older pupils. Children have also set up galleries of their artwork, along with on-line curriculum projects to make science and maths more fun.
Every class contributes to the site.
