This morning we started our day by taking a close look in our pond as we wondered if anything had changed? As we looked down, we noticed that we had hundreds and hundreds of tadpoles and they were much bigger than last week. A discussion then ensued about the life cycle of a frog.

After checking out our pond we got straight to work completing our fire pit. We rolled out the membrane, cut it to size and the children took it in turn to hammer the pegs into the ground. Once the membrane was secure, we transported our fire bricks into the middle. We thought about what shape it should be and chose a circle shape. We started to place the stones into a circular shape and before we knew it our fire pit was complete. We moved our benches and our tree stumps and arranged them around the fire. We just need a a bark delivery now and our fire pit is complete.

It may not look like much at the minute but we have gone from a grassy, weed ridden area to a beautiful fire pit area in two weeks. We have also moved the large polytunnel frame which next week will be covered in net and made into a new, protected growing space ready for our seeds.
