A FILM created by Leyton schoolchildren was shown on the big screen in Walthamstow town square on Wednesday.

Year 4 pupils from George Mitchell All-Through School have created a five minute flick called The Trees Are Still Standing.

The film was created as part of Shoreditch-based company Immediate Theatre's Big Blue Fence Project, which looks at the heritage of Olympic boroughs.

A spokeswoman for the project said: “The Trees are Still Standing sees pupils exploring the urban and rural landscapes of Waltham Forest - it shows their visit to Epping Forest and features poetry written in response to their trip.”
