The Classrooms

As you can see, the rooms had been left in an extreme state of disarray. The floors were covered with a vast amount of dirt and grime, most of which was hidden underneath various pieces of equipment, old wellington boots, waste bags and a variety of other items that had been left to fester for some time.

After a deep clean, it was decided that one of the rooms would serve as an equipment shed that would be off limits to children due to the nature of the tools and other items found in there for the upkeep of the garden.

After a similar deep clean in the remaining classroom, a selection of children were asked to draw various garden based designs.

The children were then asked, after lots of deliberation to paint their designs. 

Involving the pupils of the school as much as possible was important to the group to ensure the children felt a connection to the area.

After the pupils had finished their beautiful pictures, the class was outfitted with both new and restored equipment for the school to use. The equipment included a bug viewer so that children could investigate various bugs caught in the garden, whilst ensuring that the bug is not harmed. Magnifying glasses and a microscope were provided to encourage an even deeper look at any potential discoveries the children may find.
