Ashley Primary, Walton, Year 2
Rebuiling Wall-ton
The children in Otter Class have decided to do something about the broken wall outside the bed and bathroom store, which they regularly see on their walk to school.
The children felt that the wall did not ‘look nice’ and was also a danger as many of them had walked along the wall, fallen and grazed their legs. The children wanted to rebuild the wall but soon realised that they couldn’t do this themselves! As a class they developed an action plan and split themselves into three groups; which included a team to ring the bed and bath stores to find out what they thought about the wall, a team who wrote letters to the local council and building company who built the wall voicing their concerns and also a team who created posters to send to the council to put up near the wall, warning people of the dangers before the wall is hopefully fixed.

Good to see the wall has now been completly removed so no more accidents
Congratulations Otter Class - the wall has been removed and made good. Can you work on getting a safer crossing next?!
Thank you for your comments :) Otter Class were delighted to see the wall coming down and now want to write to the council to see if a new wall is to be built, if it is they would like to design it! Will keep you posted...
Well done Y2 what a worthwhile project, the broken wall was a terrible hazard! It is good to hear that you can make a change! Keep up the good work.
Fantastic achievement by everyone involved - it seems you might have a little more power than adults. Goodness knows what else you can sort out!
