There’s a bit of an ongoing issue in Cathedral’s school grounds with tree roots lifting the monoblocks. For health and safety reasons, we have – up until now – intermittently gathered loose blocks and stored them in the shed. However, following an ingenious idea dropped into the Smart School Council suggestion box, the monoblocks have now been placed in a designated corner of the playground to create an outdoor construction area. As you can see, it’s already attracted some eager builders and is being put to very good use. Fun outdoor learning at zero cost!

(Please note: Mr Young met with someone from the local authority on Friday 28th March and raised the issue of the loose monoblocks).
