On 22 November 2001 the new rainforest mural was officially opened at The Vaynor First School. The courtyard area outside Year 2's classrooms was transformed by artist George Lashmar into a bright tropical scene. The theme was inspired by the annual visits of the Rainforest Roadshow and the children themselves provided lots of ideas for the kind of things they would like to see. Funded by the PTA, the area was completed by the addition of plants, benches and decking to make this a quiet haven at break times.

We were delighted to have the opportunity to attend the official opening and speak to the children afterwards, and very grateful to be the inspiration behind such a beautiful piece of artwork.
