A new term, a new school year. Does your child need a  boost in confidence to ensure the transition to a new year is smooth, exciting and successful? Perhaps your child is a little bored and needs to be stretched and challenged? I am here to help.

Its that time again. Stuffy nest boxes and long daylight hours are sending my hens broody again. The problem is they fill up the nest boxes and so other hens start to lay away. 

The key is to shut them out during the day and they soon 'cool off' and start to wander around once more with the rest of the flock.

Sports days and end of term plays are in full swing and it seems the sun has decided to shine. Enjoy the last few weeks of term before the summer break.

Well done to all you year 6 students that have completed your sats tests. Now enjoy the half term break and then the last few weeks of your time at primary school.

With the longer days and sunny weather a few of my chickens have decided that they would rather find a cosy place in the shed to lay their eggs. So far I think we have found them all. However, my daughter watched the other day as a very bold and cheeky chicken squeezed through the netting into next door's garden. Someone will get a surprise!
