Conservation Project
On Tuesday, Miss Crossley’s class went over to Longdendale environmental centre to do some conservation work with the Longdendale Rangers.
2 years ago some of our students dug a ditch under a footpath to stop it flooding and then rebuilt a bridge over the ditch in the environmental centre grounds.
On Tuesday, we arrived and that ditch had begun to block with leaves and debris so we were tasked with clearing it out and renewing the structure.
The class got stuck in with spades and draining rods to create a new channel for rainwater and unblock the tunnels under the bridge.
Kayleb led the way carrying on his brothers work (Kyren) from 2 years ago!!
While 1 group worked on this, another group installed new fencing around the centre to stop dogs and other large animals getting in so that it is a safe area for groups of children to learn about the environment.
A lot of hard work but a fantastic effort from the whole class!!
Well done
Mr Hopkins
