The Primary School Visit

Having hung our huge doves it was time to ask our Primary School children to visit and learn what a dovecote looked like. As there are seventy two children in our school we had to split them up into two groups, even then it was a tight squeeze.

Our new doves

During this past week the children have been writing poems, painting and making clay models of doves. The clay doves will be put into the nesting boxes. The children's art work and poems about doves will be added to our big doves. We will also be adding our own text.

We hope that these big doves will act as a deterrent to the wild  pigeons entering the dovecote to nest!
