Heronsdale's Handy Seat
Created by: Herons Dale Primary School
Location: Mayberry Garden Centre
This was created with the input of every child within our school. The children decided they wanted it to follow the design of our previous trail design so we could have a matching pair. Over three days all pupils choose the colour and placement of their finger print or hand print.
