The children have been working in the garage repairing cars, playing with their friends and watching the groundsmen remove the tree stomps from the car park.

We heard a very loud noise this morning and discovered them using a machine called a stomp grinder to break down the wood.  It has large teeth on the disk to slowly break down the wood.  It also has caterpillar wheels to ensure it doesn't get stuck in the mud.  When they were finished they used a very large wheel barrow and blower to tidy up the grounds.  A great job!
