Dads and lads – we need your help!
Our next phase to develop the outdoor learning / play area at school is to put in drainage and to surface further areas with hardcore and bark. This will be heavy, physical work and we need around 40 “dads and lads” to complete the project. This will benefit all the children in school by helping make the grassy area accessible all year round. Please make sure to ask any dads/lads not on our email list.
When? Saturday 10 March
Where? School playground around the back
Time? 12-5pm – if you can only make part of the time, that’s better than not coming at all
Bring? Yourself, boots/wellies (will be very muddy).gloves and spades.
Please fill in this form no later than Friday 2nd March at 12noon to give your details and the time you could come if you are able to help on the day.
