Kyla, 13, one of the art pupils who worked on the equipment's design, said she really wanted to be a part of it when her art teacher told her about the project. "We really wanted to get involved and paint it, it made me really happy," she classmate Donatella also helped with the said: "I think our teacher knew we were good at art so she chose us to work on this special project, but it was just really nice to be involved."Clare has been taking regular videos of Penny using the equipment and showing it to school staff and pupils so they can also track her McGlinchey, a technology technician in the school, helped oversee the equipment's said: "It's just great seeing all the videos of Penny using it to practice her walking and even dancing it, It does your heart the world of good."
