Our School Garden

Have you seen our school garden? It looks fantastic and there’s more to come! Two of our paren= ts – Catherine Conway and Claire Reynolds led loads of keen and willing parents = all through last weekend to produce our stunning new garden. My thanks go to Catherine and Claire with Amber Beare for all their hard work in planning a= nd preparing for the weekend and keeping us going! It was not just a huge succ= ess regarding the garden but it was also a fine example of team work and the support our school has from parents and children. So thank you all for comi= ng along last weekend. I think there were about 50 families, staff and some governors helping – please look at our photographic display in the ha= ll to see how it all happened. THANK YOU EVERYONE! Look out for next time we g= et together for a gardening weekend and come and join in the fun!
