On Friday 10th November we all had a go at building nesting boxes. Mrs. Locky and her daughter Grace had cut the wood and predrilled and labeled all the holes to make it easier for students to assemble.
It was like a 3D puzzle and was pretty hard to put together.
Everyone worked hard as a team listening to each other's ideas and taking turns.
Altogether we made 6 nesting boxes for the West Coast Penguin Trust. Lucy from the WCPT was there to help and she told us that the nesting boxes protect the eggs, nesting parents and the hatched chicks. She had a photo of a chick hanging out in a nesting box last week while its' parents were out at sea feeding.
