Fifty volunteers mucked to install a sensory garden at Ellingham Primary School in Chessington.

They completed the task in just five hours.

Pupils will also grow their own fruit and vegetables in a market garden, and can “grub around” in a habitat area.

Headteacher Sarah Creegan said the pupils were “incredibly excited” about the gardens. She said: “It’s to develop science skills alongside using all their senses. They can go and be calm.

“We’re taking them all round this week to look at all the different areas.”
