September 27th, 1990 and pupils at St Patrick's Primary School were so impressed by a school trip that they decided to turn their hands to sculpture.

Two classes went on a visit to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park at West Bretton, near Wakefield. The park has its own education officer who gives details of exhibitions to schools and shows groups around.

The St Patrick's pupils saw the exhibitions by sculptors from Zimbabwe, in Africa, who are considered to be among the best in the world.

Some of the sculptors were even at the park and talked to the visitors about their work. Class teacher, Mr Sutcliffe, who organised the trip, spent part of his summer holiday in Zimbabwe and used to live there.

When they got back to school, the pupils started work on their own creations in plasticine. Nina Lubelska is pictured showing her sculpture as other pupils look on.
