Apple treasure hunts, apple grabbing and pin the worm were among activities enjoyed by children at Rushmere Hall Primary School’s secret garden at a special fruit-themed event which saw Paul Stock join the teaching team.
Mr Stock had previously been headteacher at Trimley St Martin Primary School.
The event, organised by Rushmere Hall’s parent fundraising team, also saw youngsters take part in a competition to see who could peel an apple with the longest piece of peel.
“This event was an example of how all members of the Rushmere community are supporting and helping to raise the profile of this improving school,” said Mr Stock.

The Rushmere Hall Fundraisers started as a group back in March this year – and they have already raised £2,000 to help fund school projects.
