School Improvements During Lockdown

You may remember that during the first lockdown the children were building a new wildlife pond at the edge of the woodland. During this lockdown, the forest school team have been busy building a dipping platform and making a ‘beach’ (if you watch Monty on Gardener’s World you will be aware of the wildlife value of a pond ‘beach’!) We hope that this year the pond will attract lots of wildlife; in fact we have already spotted a frog and a smooth newt checking out the new ‘des res’. I am sure that the Forest School team will have lots of activities for the children to do putting the finishing touches to the new pond, including planting bog and marginal plants to attract dragonflies and damselflies and building a hibernaculums to attract our amphibious friends!
