(Well, Just the One Actually)"},"content":{"rendered":"

As part of the ongoing work at Newport Primary School, we had a big trunk to make use of in the form of some workshops with the pupils. The plan was to carve something more mythical than the wildlife on the marker posts, and the pupils decided on a fearsome dragon, the design of which they planned with a number of sketches:<\/p>\n

My job was to amalgamate all these great sketches into one design, and mark it on the trunk ready for the pupils. As with other school workshops the aim was to include every single pupil in the process, starting with the youngest; it worked a treat, the only problem being dragging the pupils away at the end of each session.<\/p>\n

After only three days the dragon was complete.\"allen-stichler-woodcarving-newport-primary\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think he looks friendly, more Pete’s Dragon than Smaug!<\/p>\n

The pupils are now deciding on a name for their creation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
