Sutton School Animal Hotel
Where? Hereford
When? 26 May 2008
What's it about? We hope to be able to include a few chickens in our new garden to encourage the children to care and be responsible for them, along with cleaning them out and feeding them. We hope to collect eggs that can be used in our school breakfast club. The children are also making bug boxes and a wild life corner to encourage natural growth in our garden. We would like volunteers to provide information, ideas, praise and encouragement. We hope to recruit volunteers that have perhaps kept chickens as a hobby and can share their knowledge with the children.
