All hands on deck for concreting - Episode 2!

David Reid, our friendly farmer neighbour gave us a huge boost last Thursday by bringing his digger to move bulk bags of aggregate, sand and cement closer to the Memorial Garden gate.

This saved us a lot of time and energy!

On Monday, volunteer staff helped Sean and Miss S to mix more concrete.  As a team, we worked fast to keep the mixer supplied and turning.  

We tipped the concrete directly onto the platform then raked and tamped it smooth.

We continued after break in light drizzle but by period 4 we had to stop and cover the platform because it was raining too hard.  We washed all the tools and put everything away.

Thanks to Mrs Nicholson, Miss Noufal and Mr MacClarence for your hard work, and to Miss Thomlinson for helping to pack away in the rain!  Over and above for Sean M! 😎

One more push, and this platform should be ready for our gazebo!
