MATHEMATICAL GARDEN FOR ARBOURS PRIMARY ACADEMY
Great team work with Steve, Trevor, Jaime, Clive, Brian and Jackie at the Arbours Academy Primary school.
David George suggested the idea of a "mathematical garden" to the head whilst at the school. He often goes in to afternoon Assembly especially at Christmas.
Phase one was Ste
ve
preparing the shapes from second hand decking that was then painted
with Sage Cuprinol. Each shape has an internal surface area of 1 square
metre.
Phase two of the project took place on Saturday 23 March, with the Mathematical shapes being inset over deturfed and dug cleared beds in the grassed area. So far there are square, rectangle, triangle, diamond and pentagon shaped beds.
Each
shape had a second coat of colour, once in situ. The turf removed was
reused where possible to cover worn patches in the grassed area, and
watered in.
Once the beds have settled they will be planted with flowers and vegetables by the children, with a bit of help from Jackie and interested club members.
