Pond Transformation

The “Project Pond” team spent all of a Saturday morning transforming our school pond from an overgrown wilderness back into a pond!

They worked tirelessly until dark. They discovered plenty of pond life, moving frogs, newts and even a vole. And not only did they transform the pond, they also filled in muddy puddles around the school and removed condemned play equipment. Corinna topped it all off by planting up some beautiful pots!

Special thanks to Helpful Hiring in Thame who gifted us use of an excavator and dumper truck - these were invaluable. Thanks also to AW Mobbs of Wheatley who kindly gave us a discounted rate on the shingle.

Finally, a great big thank you to the Project Pond dream team - Atila Gereb, Jim Bullen, Dan Powell, Marc Powell, Will Calderwood, Nicola Bennett and Nick Nixey ... and especially to Corinna Sidhu for project managing it all.  Amazing job, thank you!

See the story in our short film and photos. Watch this space for more pond updates.  Fizzy Kemp has drawn up some exciting plans for phase two of the project. Next steps - get the kids involved!
