This week, pupils have been prepping the barns to house the animals at night as the temperature drops and winter properly sets in. The pupils painted lines on the floor as a guide to mark the bedding areas in each pen, which will be useful when cleaning and refilling the pens.
Various groups of pupils also made another boot cleaner after one of the brushes broke in the morning and by the afternoon, they added offcuts of wood and finished it ready for painting.
In addition to this, the Y8 pupils working on the allotment project have been working extremely hard, repurposing steel fence panels from the chicken quad and bringing them over to the farm to hopefully prevent any of the animals from eating the growing produce! The pupils are very enthusiastic and come in early to start promptly at 8am! It’s great to see so many pupils cooperating, bringing their own ideas and enjoying the work they are doing for the farm.
