The Pond Cabin
We are building a cabin alongside the pond and re-designing the bog garden. The original bog garden will become an additional pond to enable pupils to observe the wildlife of the pond. The cabin will also be used as a bird hide with viewing through peepholes. It will be equipped with microscopes, identification charts and pond dipping equipment. There will be storage and work areas for children.
A Thinking Garden with a Sanctuary
A place for reflection containing elements linked to the RE and PSHE curriculum is being constructed at the western end of the Rockery Garden. Within this garden is the story teller seat named after Sheilagh Alexander in memory of the great support she gave to both pupils and staff especially within garden projects.
