Pikemere Primary School, Alsager, Cheshire - Children of Year One helped to make this adventure tunnel. The living willow tunnel will be used as an outdoor play area and supports their current topic "Peter Pan." The lost boys will be playing in the forest! All the children helped to make this and had a lovely time. Living willow provides an important ecological opportunity for creative outdoor play.

Summerbank Primary: We have completed a project on 'Oceans' with the children of Summerbank Primary. We worked with all the children in the school to turn their hall into an ocean filled with beautiful fish, created by the children using willow and other media. The results are amazing.
