Updated 07/03/05                           The Floor is Down

The floor is now down and a team of brickies have arrived which means  the walls are beginning to take shape.  At last the children can see where their classrooms will be.  Later this week the scaffolding will be erected as the walls get higher.

We are now thinking about internal furnishings and are being asked to  make decisions about the colour of the walls etc.  Life is getting very exciting!

Now that the piling rig has gone, the builders have been busy installing new drains which are now in place.

As our ground is unstable, piles need to be drilled into the soil. These are reinforced with cement and metal rods. The piling rig is 40 foot high and weighs 40 tons.  The children find it very interesting.

More news next week.

As you will I’m sure have seen the builders are moving quite quickly with the ground preparation for the build.  They are currently digging out the area that will be built on.  At the beginning of this week they uncovered an old well.  This has needed to be drained and filled with concrete to allow the preparations to proceed.

We are expecting a 40-ton piling rig to arrive on site by the middle of next week.  I am sure this will interest the children.  More news next week.
