Pond development

On Friday myself and a few of the year 5 staff, along with their class members, began work on our new pond and wildlife area.

This involved digging a rather large hole in order to place one of our new ponds into position. The children were willing helpers and the weather was very kind to us. By the end of the day, the pond was in position and water and wildlife had been transferred from one of our existing ponds.

The discovery of a large number of Newts brought much excitement, as well as the ability to hold and touch water snails.

We will be looking to install our second pond soon and then to begin to start work in the removal of the old ponds and the enrichment of the surrounding woodland area.
