Rory the lions arrive at Stacey Primary School, Cardiff

In January, Stacey Primary School held a competition to design a mascot for their school. A boy called Idris Adan from year 2 won the competition, with his wonderful drawing of a lion, seen below:

I was asked by one of his teachers - Charlotte Sweet, to make 9 of these wonderful lions for the school, one for each class, so I did.

The lions arrive at reception. I think they're settling in nicely!

Here they are getting used to their new environment and waiting to be moved into their respective classrooms!
