Spring Term 2012

Teachers and interested people are invited to join the Education Group for their next meeting at
Veolia Environment Centre, Bushey on Tuesday, 13 March at 4pm, to have a
'taster session' of the variety of activities that they offer schools  on their viists to the Centre
and some ideas that may be used in all Key Stage classrooms.

**********************************************************************************************************

We are now getting requests for support from some local schools and

we are trying to fulfil these in whatever way we can. We have been able to give tangible support to

Welldon Park First School on their new allotment patch which lies on the same allotment as that of

Mick Campbell, HA21’s Vice Chairman.

Do any of you have links with an allotment and so be of value to a local school?
