Year 3 were down at the wildlife pond enclosure today doing their bit on 'World Wildlife Day'.
One of our amazing volunteers Alex and the children helped give the buddleia a spring prune and clear the brambles off the main path around the pond, adding the cuttings and fallen leaves to our "critter corner". This has not only helped improve access for lessons and pond dipping later in the year but has also added some valuable vegetation to our wildlife corner which is left for wildlife to use. Alex has plans for a wonderful new "dead hedge" to be installed in the corner in a few weeks time. Meanwhile, Flora helped the pupils plant a beautiful new swathe of snowdrops 'in the green' which we have been donated by two of our wonderful local supporters from the village and which will benefit queen bumblebees next spring. Finally the class planted three sacks of lovely first crop potatoes which will be ready for harvesting and cooking in the summer term. Bring on the sunshine!
