"Room for Improvement"
I like the idea of Freshwaters' allotment project, but I've noticed that the school can get quite busy and noisy at times. My child has enjoyed the classroom activities, but I wish they could have more opportunities for free play and exploration. Overall, it's been an okay experience for us so far.
