The S5 boys had a great day on Friday 21st February. They were excused from some classes in order to be able to spend the whole day in the Memorial Garden
Our mission was to collect as many stones as possible from the poor soil.
We barrowed them over to make a big pile. Ross also got "arty" with his camera!
I am proud to say that the boys worked really hard all day
We weeded as we went too
The barrows keep rolling in!
We counted four buckets as one barrow.
Lee from Keenan's also visited to see the site. They have pledged to donate several truck loads of "soil improver" when we are ready so a huge thank you to them!
Ralf came to help out last lesson to spur us on 😊
The boys take a well deserved 5 minute rest!
By the end of the day this pile had turned into...
this one! We shifted 21 barrows...
...into two piles
Thank you to all those who sponsored the boys - to date, we have a total of £87!
The gabions cost 31.50 each so we can now afford TWO 😊
Some folk have still pledged funds, so with just £10.50 more, we could buy three gabions so please watch this space!
