Mayor helps growers
The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Tony Concepcion, joined headteacher, Lorraine Walwyn, chair of governors, Glyn Thomson and the PTA at Mab Lane Primary School to prepare planters for growing plants and vegetables.
The planters, which were supplied by Tesco, will be used by the pupils.
The pupils will take care of the planters, harvest and use for food technology and small business ideas.
The initiative, organised by Karen McGuinness, chair of the PTA is wholly funded by Tesco Deysbrook and their champion in the community member, Vicky Nolan, joined the staff and children in the opening ceremony and joined in with the activities.
Headteacher, Lorraine Walwyn said: “We are extremely grateful to everyone involved who has helped the children benefit from a broadened curriculum and hands on experience of growing, harvesting and preparing their own food”.
