Getting ready for our chickens!
We have been working hard to get ready for our chickens. We are having three rescue hens. These have been battery hens and we are resucing them from their lives in a small cage. They will now have a wonderful life as free-range chickens! We are also incubating some eggs and we will keep some of those as well. The eggs will start incubating over the Easter holidays and they will hatch when we come back to school.
This week we have been very busy. Mr Roe put up our chicken run and we have painted it all with preservative. The wildlife club then built the hen house and then painted that with preservative as well so it is all protected. We are nearly ready to welcome our hens!
All that is left to do is to staple chicken wire around the bottom. This will stop the hens getting out when they are small. It will also stop the foxes getting in to them.

Yummy pizza from our own tomatoes!
This week in gardening club, we had great fun making delicious pizza from the tomatoes that we grew this year in the garden! Mrs Walker had collected and frozen the tomatoes over the summer holidays and we used that to make the base for our pizza.
We also had some fun with conkers.
