Christingles at the Abbey

Oak Class descended on the Abbey in Shrewsbury on Wednesday 4th December, where a magical service took place in support of The Children’s Society. The class had run a bake sale and raised £90 to help the Society with their Christmas campaign.

Rowan Gardening Project

Dear parents and carers,

Rowan Class is planning to build a garden outside our classroom door over the next few months.

Those of you who have been collecting at the end of the day have probably noticed the old tyres by our door. We will turn these into raised beds as soon as we can. The theme for our garden will be reusing and recycling.

Unfortunately, we need help. We have very few things to get the project started. We would love you to check your garages and sheds for things we could really use.

We need pea gravel for drainage.

We need old plywood for putting under the tyres so that we can move them easily.

We need compost for planting up tyres and other planters. If you have any half open bags that you aren’t going to use, please send them our way.

A watering can would be handy if you have an old one we could refresh.

Some plants would be appreciated if you can spare any: bulbs for perennials, small hardy succulents, bamboo, ferns, architectural plants like cordylines or phormiums, strawberries etc. Anything really that the children can use all year round for all sorts of purposes: art, science, English etc. Plants should be relatively easy to look after.

We would appreciate large and interesting containers that you do not want anymore. If you have a bucket full of holes, we’ll take it because we will be able to plant it up.

Finally, if you have unwanted exterior paints that we can use on recycled wood, or on the tyres, we can make use of it.

It will be a fantastic project to get started and something that children can add to in subsequent years but we do need your help to begin.

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes,

Mr Harris.
