Beavers used to be abundant in the UK but were hunted for their fur, meat and scent glands. Charities like the Beaver Trust are reintroducing beavers into the UK. The beaver is an amazing dam builder and they produce a series of dams that slow down water. The design of the dams prevents flooding during downpours. Not only do they reduce the risk of flooding - they also are an important player in biodiversity. This magical rodent encourages wildlife to flourish along its dams. What an amzing creature!. This video was made by an Eco Council member in Year 5 - Enjoy!

Here are the entries to our Beaver Art Competition. Winners will be announced on Thursday 24th October.

A massive 'Thank You' to the the Crofts Family who donated £300 to the after school Pond Cleaning Club. We have already spent some money on history resources for the Y3 class and some much needed stationary. We are in the process of caring for all our apple trees (we have an apple!) and will be buying some mulch in the near future. 

Thank you

Mr French and  The Pond Cleaning Club
