Visit to Woodthorpe Primary School

 Another school visit, this time Woodthorpe primary.

We received a very warm welcome from the children and their teachers.

The children enjoyed building log piles, whilst receiving education upon the importance of them.

Surveillance tunnels where used around the school sports fields. We discovered the following day that hedgehog prints were found, which supports evidence  of hedgehogs in the locality.

The children received a talk about feeding hedgehogs and the importance of water. Where hedgehogs sleep and how they could help. Also discussed was hedgehog highways.

It was a fun day throughout.
