PRIMARY school children took part in a village millennium project with the help of sculptor Fiona Bowley.

The four to seven-year-olds from St Wilfrid's CE Primary School, Ribchester, made felt pictures out of unspun wool of the animals, birds and plants that come out during the course of a day.

Fiona, of Thornton-in-Craven, spent a day with the children and will return to the school in March to help the older pupils make sundials.

The children's ideas will be used as part of a larger art project to commemorate the start of the new century in Ribchester's recreation ground.

Fiona is pictured working on a project with Duncan Lough-Scott, six, and Gemma Hayhurst, seven.
