NowI will give you a brief introduction as you go around the school. At present we’restanding just at the front entrance of the school. You can park your car on ourright. It’sthe car park. On our left you can see our sports field. This is just fortraining and informal games. We use the village football field for our U11matches. The recycling center is at the end of the car park, which is forthings like paper, glass and so on and everyone is very welcome to make use ofit. Just to the north, behind the school, we have the play area. Unfortunately,we had to remove the play equipment for safety regulations. But we do have thetree house in the middle. Then you’ll find the entrance to thesecret garden when you go through the play area. The children love this becauseit attracts all sorts of wildlife:frogs, fish and lots of birds. For the trees,there are over 40 different species, and all of them are planted by thechildren. In the middle of the garden we have what we call the storyteller’schair, and that is where the children come with their teachers to sit on thegrass to listen to stories.
