Our new Opal Play Sandpit is ready and in action!!!! This has been fully funded by our Herne Bay Infant & Junior School PTA so huge thanks to them.
It took 7 tonnes of sand to fill it , which the Y6 pupils moved into the sandpit using buckets, spades, old tins, wheelbarrows and basically anything they could find!

The children are absolutely LOVING it 😊
