It was a busy week on the Farm last week, with Pete the Pond’s team completing the pond restoration on time despite some challenges including the discovery of a brick wall in the foundations and continued abject weather most of the week!
Tuesday’s and Thursday’s Farm Club groups enjoyed listening to Pete and meeting his parrot Mango. They learnt about the animals that enjoy this habitat – including dragon and damselflies and also got hands on building a hibernaculum for amphibians.
The local wildlife has already started settling into the renovated habitat, with a couple of smooth newts spotted in the hibernaculum piles established earlier in the week.
The pond has been transformed and is another unique asset for the school which many students will enjoy learning from for many years to come.
