Children at Dunmow St Mary s Primary School were pleased if a little surprised to find that Lionel the giant perch has joined them.
The perch was created as part of the celebrations of the 10th Drawing in Dunmow Big Draw and has been moved from the town centre.
Catherine Mummery, co-director of Dunmow community arts company High Stile Projects, said: I have been collaborating with Dunmow St Mary s on a wide range of arts programmes for nearly 20 years. The school has been involved in all Drawing in Dunmow Big Draws and has a strong relationship with St Mary s Church.

“The learning is important, but their mental health and wellbeing is also vitally important.
“Hopefully we won’t have a fourth lockdown.”
Clare Griffiths, headteacher at Dunmow St Mary’s, said the children were very happy to be back in school and see their friends and teachers.
Mrs Griffiths said: “They were very happy to be back to normal, and we were very happy to have them back.
“They have missed so much, their friends, the social interaction.
“I think it’s been such an incredible hard time for families, a massive relief for everybody that schools could reopen fully yesterday.”

This year, many of our favourite traditions have been cancelled, however pupils and teachers at Dunmow St Mary s Primary School have refused to let the pandemic ruin the Christmas spirit.
Children at the school in High Stile filmed clips separately in their different protective bubbles before combining them in a video which will be shared with their families to download and watch.
Reception class pupils performed a singing and dancing celebration of everything Christmas.
Meanwhile, classes in years one and two put on their Christmas play, ‘A Bundle of Joy’ telling the story of the nativity from the perspective of a very grumpy donkey called Grumble.
