Time to relax in pupils' secret garden
THERE'S a rather unusual secret garden at Castle Junior School in Knaresborough!
Thanks to the work of one
dedicated parent, Mrs Anna Hay, a small cloakroom area has
been transformed into a calm, relaxing area for children,
parents and visitors.
A talented artist, Mrs Hay has spent several weeks painting scenes from the book "The Secret Garden".

Delightful details include spiders, butterflies and snails as well as life-size children and colourful plants.
Headteacher Mrs Emma Higgins said: "With the addition of some furniture and plants that have been donated by our parents, the area has become a focal point for the children in school. We are very grateful to Mrs Hay for her hard work."
