Local Sculptor Niall Deacon visited 5th & 6th class today. Niall was approached by the community park development committee to make a stone sculpture for the new park. 5th & 6th class pupils are going to come up various designs for engraving on the stone. Niall brought with him a cardboard cut-out to show the class the scale of the stone involved. Keep an eye out for the finished piece in the months ahead.
