A huge clearance
Tue 19 Mar 2019Our heartfelt thanks go to Dante’s restaurant in Hale for sponsoring and organising the clearance of the site on the edge of the field next to the pond, to enable the outdoor classroom to be installed, in memory of Mr Hamblett. A lot of ‘clutter’ had accumulated and a team of helpers braved the awful weather last weekend to get the project underway. We are sure this exciting addition to our outdoor environment will be worth all their hard work.

Pond Life
Thu 07 Mar 2019It’s amazing what sort of wildlife you discover on a Saturday morning at 8am in the school pond. An odd selection of bipeds: enthusiastic parents, keen but tired staff, long- suffering husbands and partners of staff and past parents who, despite having no further connection with school, gave up their time, expertise and endless enthusiasm. The aim was to tidy up the pond area, allow more light in and reduce leaf litter and after 4 hours of hard work and a very noisy wood chipper we felt satisfied we had ‘done Mr Hamblett proud’. Once the wood chipper was turned off we were serenaded by the frog chorus as the water was teeming with endless frogs.
This is just the beginning of an ongoing maintenance and ‘pond-care’ program to hopefully enable our children to develop a lifelong fascination for caring for our natural environment. A huge thank you to all those who give their time and muscle power so willingly, to those who braved the full pond experience and got wet for their endeavours (John!), but most importantly past parents: Karen and James Bushell from Dunham Fisheries and Paul Antrobus from Cheshire Trees, without whom we would still be there, exhausted, wet and muddy!
