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! |
