Biodiversity 2006-2007
Amazon World
We started the Summer Term in fine form as the girls from Amazon World came in to present an assemby on biodiversity and sustainability. They brought with them an armadillo called Pedro who, despite his interesting smell proved a hit with even the year 8 boys. The talk was very informative and covered climate change and endangered species and what the pupils could do to make a small difference themselves.
Over the last 2 years we have done some work on biodiversity, ensuring that we do not use chemical pesticides and herbicides in the school grounds and developing the patio areas with planters and hanging baskets to provide flowers.
However, the bulk of our work has been in the planning all year and throughout this term will come to fruition as we develop the school grounds further working with Wight Wildlife and the Isle of Wight College to provide a wild area with various habitats including butterfly friendly plants and a log pile, bird and bat boxes for nesting around the school and a new bird table.
Love the new blog and love Pedro. Good to see C.C. here too!!! Keep up the good work!
