Rotary Puts an Apple into the Apple Tree Gardens First School
The Whitley Bay Rotary Club recently put an apple in the eye of Apple Tree Gardens First School, by presenting them with a purpose built circular garden seat which has been built around an existing fruit tree in the playground.
The six sided bench which has been carved with the school motto "Enjoy, Succeed, Achieve" was manufactured by people with mental health issues and learning disabilities who work for Blyth Star Enterprises. This is an organisation working with people which enables them to lead independent lives in their communities.
The seat has been constructed from pressure treated softwood which the students have done in conjunction with Blyth Star Joiners and Teachers, who were also involved in resurfacing the earth beneath the seat to allow drainage and reduce weed growth.

Our picture shows students holding their end of year ‘Dictionaries For Life’ also a joint gift with the schools from the Rotary Club, who this year have supplied over 500 copies to all nine First Schools in the Whitley Bay District.
