We would like to say a big thank you to all the people who have come forward to help out in whatever capacity in the creation of Freya's Garden. If you can help out just by letting us borrow some equipment, that would be great. You will find a list at the bottom of this page. 

Our volunteer day is on Thursday this week, thank you to those who have been in contact offering to help out on the day.

We have had a pre-meeting with Darren from Froglife today - we have talked about the forecasted weather conditions on Thursday and although it is predicted to be dry, it is going to be very cold / freezing!

We are still determined to go ahead but some of the things we had planned we are going to have to postpone to another day. This includes the painting of the fence and the benches - due to the very low temperatures, the likelihood is that if we paint, it will just flake off (advice taken on this!).

If you are coming to help out, please make sure you email Mrs Fieldhouse if you haven't done so already, on efieldhouse@southparade.wakefield.sch.uk or contact the school office so that we have an idea of numbers. 

The intention is for us all to meet in Classroom 5 just after school drop off at 9am ish to talk through everything with Darren. 

Please report to the main entrance to sign in where you will be given a visitors lanyard and shown straight to the classroom. 

Please feel free to stay all day, however due to the low temperatures we are expecting it to be more like half a day and to plan another day next month. 

If you have any of the following equipment you would like to donate or lend us please get in touch with Mrs Fieldhouse ASAP as we will be buying everything in advance. 

Spades

Rakes

Wire brushes

Waders

Buckets

Sandpaper

Gardening gloves 

Bulbs to plant (appropriate for this time of year)

Compost 

Washing up liquid

Thank you for your support. This is much appreciated by us and by Freya's family.
