This week, pupils have enjoyed painting some donated cable drums and repurposing them as goat’s play furniture. A group of Y8 pupils salvaged some planks and wood offcuts and made ramps for the drums. They enjoyed working as a team; each pupil had a go at measuring, drilling, screwdriving and finally painting these and are looking forward to fitting them to the drums next week.
A group of Y9 intervention pupils also helped out by assembling the new cart, and by working as a team they managed to decipher the instructions and did a great job of fixing it all together. The Y10 animal care pupils used it today, and they said it made their tasks much easier.
Sadly, we have said goodbye to Marshmallow, the oldest of our three guinea pigs. The pupils will miss her, but they handled it really well, although understandably saddened.
