In the last few years ago we had to say goodbye to the lovely bushes and shrubs that stood in front of our main entrance but on Thursday 6th October the children and staff of North Bay gathered in the autumn sunshine to celebrate National Tree Day and the planting of a new tree.    Tree Planting Video      [Download video here.]
