As part of our Fruit-full schools project we hosted our first Apple day celebrations. We ran a number of competitions including ‘longest peel’ and apple bobbing. The boys seemed to have a great time and really get involved.  We hope that this is an exciting venture that will become a permenant feature of the WIlson’s school year.

Oh and Wilson’s has got Bees! Located well out of the way of students and teachers bees arrive at WIlson’s over the summer holidays and are doing well. Now in the first instance students won’t be going to see them but when we get the honey we hope to create a series of activities for the boys and sell our first Wilson’s honey. Watch this space…

Ever optimistic
