GIFTED children are discovering hidden talents, thanks to an innovative project.

Music teacher Gillian Deans, a governor at Farnworth CE Primary School in Pit Lane, Widnes has been sharing her skills with pupils.

She has been running a series of workshops.

Head teacher Jackie Stillings said: “The children absolutely love it.

“It enables them all to learn new skills, develop their confidence and work together as a team.

“We are very grateful to Gillian for giving up her time.”

Gillian has taught bell-ringing to year three pupils and showed a year six class how to play the drums and various percussion instruments.

The school hopes to develop more workshops in 2014.
