Tuesday and Thursday groups.  Options College, TMBSS, ALD

The Tuesday and Thursdays groups are making two huge castle turrets for the goats.  There will be a water tight house in each turret, with a goat walkway between the two.  The groups have decided they'd like a flag, gargoyle and wooden shield on the turrets once they are finished!

Holiday club summer 2016

The summer holidays are all about having fun so we will be in the woods making dens, toasting marshmallows, etc.  We do have a couple of projects that those that wish to can help with.  The first is creating a new outside living area for the four turtles.  The Tuesday term time group have started fencing it off already.  Holiday club can finish fencing and they can start adding different surfaces and textures such as straw, chip and large stones for the turtles to bask on and various hidy holes.  A pond will need to be created too.  The other holiday club project is to continue improving the forest school area including finishing the log and chip path and put more steps up one of the grassy banks.
