Unfortunately there was very sad garden news over the summer. Arrietty the chicken (green leg band for those that knew her that way) was attacked and killed by a neighbourhood fox. There are often foxes that roam the school field in the evening and sadly they managed to get to Arrietty. Thankfully the three remaining chickens, Bess, Marcy and Matilda, are all well and appear to have recovered from the trauma of losing their coop buddy. When the classes start visiting the garden for lessons again our remaining chickens will each have to get used to receiving even more attention.
