WORCESTERSHIRE pupils have produced their own organic apple juice.
The children from Abberley Hall School in Great Witley decided that this year the huge crop of apples from the orchards in the school grounds would not be wasted.
So they worked together to collect the fruit to make their first batch of organic juice, helped along by Simon Abbiss of Herefordshire who runs a mobile fruit pressing business. Teacher John Hiles said: “The boys and girls worked like Trojans and, despite wasp attacks and bumps to the head from fallers, managed to build an enormous pile of apples.
“We produced 600 bottles of delicious juice which made the whole project very satisfying. It can be kept for two years so will be enjoyed by pupils and we hope to sell some to parents.”
Abberley Hall has almost 300 pupils.
