We don’t do gender roles. This morning our female construction workers are building a new leisure centre and our male cooks are designing their pizza menu. Hopefully they can keep the girls going in pizza.

Look who Ayva found trying to get into school this morning ? He was not wearing the correct school uniform so we scooped him up and sent him on his way.
Well, not quite … but Miss Evans was very brave and as stag beetles only emerge for a few weeks to find a mate, Mrs Montgomery put him safely in a quiet part of our forest school area. We hope you find love Mr Beetle.

BLUE TIT UPDATE: Well we left you on a cliffhanger and many children have been asking how our blue tit chicks have fared. The news is that we had one successful fledging and Huey is out in the world with his parents battling out this next phase of his life. Those of you who enjoy watching Springwatch will know that it has been a really tough year for blue tits for a number of reasons, including a cold, wet May and a late start to Spring. We think our little couple have done really well to send out a new blue tit into the world in 2021. What a roller coaster ride it has been!
