Class 2 have had a great day today! The dry stone walling with the National Trust was very successful, with the completion of the next section of wall. Making sculptures was tackled with lots of enthusiasm……. Well done everyone!
My Grandson, Oscar, absolutely loved this. He has just telephoned me and spent 20 very enthusiastic minutes giving me very precise instructions on how to build a dry stone wall. He added that I should wait until he could come to my house to show me how it is done properly!
Ooh this is brilliant. Thanks for the feedback Helen. It’s lovely to hear the other side of school life. Good luck with your wall, good luck also trying to hold him back from it! Julian / Mr T
Please email a photo or two and I’ll happily add it to the bottom of the post – sounds interesting. And quite honestly, if you did get a group of children from Class 2 over to yours, with a small amount of direction it wouldn’t end up a bad job I’m sure. Yes, the National Trust always do a great job – thanks! http://northdevon.wordpress.com/
Thank you so much, Romesh had a brilliant day and went to sleep in seconds tonight! X

There were certainly a lot of children who were very keen to build a wall when they left today…could be an interesting birthday party idea for Sam’s next birthday Ali, a new take on Build A Bear 😉

I love that there is a stone that mentions the help of the school. Brilliant. We will def be going up there to take a peek, looks like they did a tremendous job. We have plenty of walls that need some regeneration…and its James’s birthday v soon…. nar, I couldnt do that to him. Its an ongoing project for Dad and sons.
Thank you too to Mrs Cooper for taking some kids onto your farm – they cant stop talking about the bull who had to have his horns chopped off !
A small group of children and I placed the stone a few years ago. Ger and I still remember which stone we placed underneath it to keep it still – he was very, very proud.
Oh, and, yes you could.
I hope you’re impressed. I know the NT Rangers were surprised by the amount of hard work the children put in. Compared to the adult volunteer weekends they have, the children worked harder!

Well, I wasn’t actually planning a wall, but not sure I have a choice!
If he brings his mates you won’t have choice. Quick, buy Lego to distract him.
