What's taking root at Oughtibridge?

A giant pebble tree that's what!

Yes, we ventured north to surprisingly sunny Sheffield and helped the children make this huge 3m pebble mosaic tree:


All 300 children (the younger ones worked in pairs) made one leaf of the tree by carefully selecting pebbles of the right shape and colour and sticking them into some cement.


We got all the hundreds of leaves together on the playground and put the finishing touches on them by filing off any lumps and scrubbing off any paper that was stuck to the back of them.


All that was left was to make a tree trunk, then stick them all to the wall!
