Year 6 versus Himalayan Balsam!

Had a wonderfully wet day in the woods with Year 6. We were invited by Mike Fisher from the Darcy Lever Gravel Pits Action Group to help in the fight against the invasion of Himalayan Balsam (pictured above).

The children spent a good hour clearing a section of the Gravel Pits before stopping for a well-earned (and slightly soggy) lunch. We then walked back through Moses Gate Country Park to school. By the end of the day we estimate that the children had walked a total of FIVE MILES so don't let them kid you that it's too far to walk to school! Everyone did brilliantly and the children were a credit to the school.

That's right young man - you've got to make sure you pull up the ROOTS!
