We would like to thank all those who helped us on Saturday morning with projects around the school – we got so much done!
Mr Hare, ably supported by his young apprentices James and Daniel (and later by the rest of the Hares) serviced all our bikes, including pumping up the tyres, tightening the brakes, aligning the handlebars, oiling the chains and, finally, giving them all a big wash. This was so helpful – it means we will be able to get our children back on the balance bikes and riding again.
Mr Mee did sterling work removing the two rotten sheds at the back of the playground. This opens up a bit of space which we intend to use for a new shed where we can store all our playtime equipment and games. Thank you.
Mrs Mee, Mrs Hadingham, Arthur and Tabatha did great work in the Early Years garden chopping the overgrown willow structures back into shape and tidying up all that came off them. As they grow back, the plan will be to reinstate the dome and tee-pee shapes.
Mr and Mrs Sargent, Mr Haddingham, Mr and Mrs Wright, Ada and others were kept busy in the garden chopping back the overgrown hedge, fixing the fence, and reinstating some of the raised beds. It looks transformed.
Another group were based in the Sensory Garden where Mrs Sheldrake and Mrs Pipe, supported by Eva and Emily, cut back all of last year’s growth and prepared the beds and borders for spring. At the same time, Mr Barker installed ropes for the espaliered fruit trees. The area looks completely transformed.
Thank you so much to all who helped. The school looks so much better and it feels great to have some long-awaited jobs finally complete. Thank you.
