The garden is looking great but still a work in process....
Since we started the development, we have weeded the area, revamped the shed, cleaned the paths, added tables and chairs and started to add some planting.
Children have worked in small groups alongside staff to assist with some of these tasks. They’ve loved the opportunity to be involved in leaving a lasting legacy at the school and spending time in nature. Each week children eagerly ask if they will get chance to do some gardening.
We’ve also had a gardening after school group, who have planted lots of spring bulbs ready for next year. It’s been wonderful to see children, who don’t have access to their own gardens able to experience gardening and all the benefits it brings.
We have also been fortunate to have the support of Community Fit, a voluntary organisation who combine a group run each week with volunteering in the local community. In mid-December some junior soldiers are also due to visit our school and volunteer in our outdoor areas.
Thank you so much again for this opportunity.'
