Many moons ago Norval worked with the upper school class to plant some trees creating a fruit orchard in the back corner of the school playground (clear of the football goals &#8211; thankfully!) and she has been working with us ever since to look after and maintain our little fledgling trees!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000\">Today pupils went out and used soaked cardboard to help mulch the existing trees as well as assess them for any damage caused during the storm and give them a good pruning. Norval also kindly brought us 3 new trees to plant to boys and girls were hard at work digging some holes for these!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000\">Thank you again to Norval for
