New term, new school year, new students!

It seems like only yesterday that we were waving the students off for their long summer holiday, but here we are again, ready for a new year!

Our first group back are from Bishopswood School. There are a few familiar faces, but also some new recruits which is always exciting for everyone.

We started off the course with an introduction to using tools safely, sawing ourselves wooden name badges and drilling holes in the top for the string.



We coloured in our name badges and wrote our names on one side. We’ll use them to hang over the boot pegs in the ‘scout hut’, so that we remember which wellies to put on next time!

When we’d finished making our badges, we went to meet the Earth Trust chickens and give them some food and water.



It was a great start to the term, and we’re looking forward to many more sunny mornings together!
