It has not stopped raining this week and we have not been able to get out into the garden properly. We ended up in the polytunnel, sowing yet more seeds! We asked four Y5 and Y6 children to help us out and we really worked hard for a good hour and half. It was really nice to sit in the polytunnel with the rain lashing down and the wind rattling the plastic, but still able to garden.
On Tuesday, I attended a Pond Maintenance course at the Yorkshire Showground which was very interesting and now I'm full of ideas. Our pond is a little neglected, but once we've got the fencing done and some platforms put in, we can concentrate on the plants and attracting wildlife. At the moment, we have a few creatures, mainly water louse, which is an indicator that the water isn't particularly healthy, but at least we have something! I'm looking forward to seeing damselfly larvae, cadisfly and newts!
On Friday (tomorrow) we are attending the Holt Park Entrance Project Opening Ceremony which we have been involved in. We are taking the children down to the site to watch Greg Mulholland MP cut the ribbon before heading to the Leisure Centre for refreshments. The weather forecast is looking good, in the sense its not raining! More later in the week.
