Help us to get our sensory garden.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit our fundraising page.

The community committee Children at Trekenner Community Primary school are undertaking a community enrichment project where they are looking for ways to improve the local area. Their plan is to create a sensory garden, seating area and den building area at the top of Jubilee field in Trekenner. We all believe that this project will enhance the community because it will be a lovely place for members of the community to sit and enjoy the garden in the summer and it will make the field even better for children to play in during the warmer months.

Additionally, the garden would be able to enrich learning of pupils because they could use it for learning enrichment during the school day.

It has been lots of hard work to do this. First, we had to convince the parish council to let us do it which we managed to do last year by writing to them and having it presented at one of their meetings. Then we had to get the area cleared, weeded, and prepared for the work to take place. We managed to get a donation from the Lezant Parish Council and managed to persuade Mr. Wheeler our headteacher to use some of the school funding to get the project started. The area was cleared, weeded, and prepared for stage two. As it is growing warmer, we have decided it is time to implement the next stage which is actually beginning to make, the flower beds, make the seating area so that we are reading to begin planting ready for the summer.

According to our investigation the next stage of the project will likely cost around £5000. However, if we can manage to raise £1000 of this, Mr Wheeler has said he will pay for the rest out of the school funding. Please, please help us to raise this money so we can get this project started and make Jubilee field even better than it is.

Yours sincerely children of Trekenner Primary School Community Committee.
