…..or four if you count the one through the first school yard, is what we’ve worked on this last few weeks. There’s a little known path with steps to the street behind our building which has been closed off and overgrown for years and years. So with the help of Read more
Well hello winter! This cold spell has seen frosty, icy days on site, the ground being frozen solid and being able to see our breath even inside our building!
