Academy Orchard Planted

Last week we welcomed into the Academy Martin Hayes, from the Gloucestershire Orchard Trust. Working alongside the Lottery Council the G.O.T have provided Highnam C of E Primary Academy with some new small fruit trees. The trees have been planted to connect the trees planted when Mrs Parsons and Mrs Challenor retired a couple of years ago. In our Collective Worship time Mr Hayes shared that this time of orchard was called a linear orchard. We now have some pear trees, apple trees and plum trees.

We will need to care for these trees to ensure they grow into healthy fruit trees. Mr Hayes shared with us what can be expected over the next couple of years...

Year 1 they sleep
Year 2 they creep
Year 3 they leap

After the Collective Worship the Academy Council planted the trees out on the field. We are looking forward to seeing the trees grow and one day eating their fruit.
