Much of the focus this week has been the duck and chicken quad.

This week we have been using a shelter constructed by the farm staff to house some ducks to administer medications and we are pleased to see they are on the mend. A special thank you to Mr Burnham who has been returning to school at 11pm each night to give them their scheduled treatment. Pupils have also taken a keen interest in their care and have been making regular visits to the quad in order to feed and water them and check on their progress.  

Pupils have repurposed an old disused steel cabinet and given it a thorough clean. This will be used to store chicken and duck feed in the quad, making feeding times much easier and convenient.

Thank you to Morrisons who donated some flower signs which pupils decided to put up in the barn to brighten the rabbits and guinea pig areas.

Farm Friday Update!

After a busy week pupils finalised the move from the old changing rooms in the barn over to the main farm unit. Over the last couple of weeks this has involved the pupils building and painting boot racks, attaching extra hangars in the farm unit and organising the overalls into sizes with plenty of fresh spares stored below making things a lot easier. Morning club pupils and two intervention groups built the final boot rack this morning, which will be painted today and in use by Monday. Now pupils will a have clean, warm comfortable area to get changed in, all thanks to their own efforts.

The sunshine has meant the guinea pigs have had a chance to go outside and pupils took some great pictures of them and the alpacas enjoying the warmer weather.

Most of the planting of flowers and vegetables has been done in the polytunnel and we hope to give you an update soon of the progress, but we have quite a few beginning to sprout already!
