YOUNGSTERS welcomed the Chinese year yesterday by creating a 50ft dragon.
Artist Lip Lee visited Kelloe Primary School, near Durham, where he helped pupils from nursery age to year six create Chinese lanterns and artwork and entertained them with Chinese folk stories.
Children of all ages were involved in creating a 50ft dragon, which they then used in a dragon dance to round off the day.
Headteacher Carol Musztacs said: "Lip Lee has been here before to work in school and the children had asked for him to come back."
