As part of the Amazon Wishlist Walton Hall  Academy have asked for a digital camera for students to use to capture their work.  We thought it would be a great idea to purchase this camera for the school so not only could they photograph their work, but they would also be able to capture the project and the updates to the farm on an ongoing basis and would become more involved in the project.

We look forward to seeing all the photos of the farm from their perspective and getting to see all the changes.

Lisa Thomas and I visited Walton Hall Academy today to photograph the farm as it is now and to take measurements and build up an initial plan of the starting renovation work. 

The school has asked that the first area to be renovated is the duck pond and enclosure. This area desperately needs re-fencing to ensure its safety for the children and also for the ducks, who are being locked into their enclosure early to prevent them being attacked by foxes. The school have asked for pea hens to be purchased and so the area will be split into a third area to allow for them to settle when first purchased. This area will need to be a sealed enclosure with a roof. 

Little Laura have purchased 2 new pond pumps using the funds donated by Amazon and have created an Amazon Wish List for direct donations to the farm.
