The farmers market was a roaring success on Friday 8 March. The school was packed from start to finish with many of the producers running out of supplies before the end of the day.
Everyone had a great time and we raised a staggering £600! There was a real buzz in the playground that has continued since the market, with all the children keen to get growing for the next event and all the producers keen to participate next time.
So many thanks required to the school, to all the staff particularly all those who helped clear up afterwards to the parents and customers for coming and spending money… Then of course there are all the producers
