All-continued to work on our reflections. We also contacted the school to check they were happy with the music trail. However, they had been unable to secure the structure in the ground so we were unable to visit to take photographs. We then tried to negotiate ways of implementing the trail in the ground. The school said they would email us to confirm they had received the trail, and that it was due to building work that they were unable to fit the structure. They were kind enough to take some photographs of the children playing with the musical instruments.
