Y8 pupils have worked really hard in clearing the farm unit and repurposing materials this week. They rearranged the animal vivariums and the space looks fantastic. They started planting seeds in preparation for Spring and we’re hoping to start to see results over the next few weeks.
Pupils also helped in the construction of mini greenhouses which have been placed over the seed beds in the polytunnel to ensure the best growing conditions for the planned fruit and veg patches. They’re excited about the prospect of seeing the seeds grow and eventually producing food, and all classes and interventions will have the chance to plant seeds and track their progress all through Spring into Summer. Some of the fruit and veg will be used to feed some of the animals and pupils will also get to see the benefits of sustainability.
Finally, the goats area has had some logs and tree trunks donated by a local businessman and the goats seem to be enjoying clambering over these.
