The task is to make a design for the pond area • You will be shown what the pond looks like now(you could also go an peak through the fence to see it). • You will be given a design brief (what the school needs out of the pond area). • You will be asked to research certain things to be able to design the pond area. • You will be shown what you need to do for the design.
Design Brief(What the school needs out of the pond area) • A safe platform to be able to pond dip from. • Some pond plants to provide oxygen to the water • An area for wildlife (bug hotels, wild plants for butterflies and pollinating insects) • A boggy area • Enough space for a class to use the area. • Perhaps a place to sit.
ResearchYou may need to look in books and the internet to work out your ideas. Here are some questions to help you • Do you know which plants would be good for a pond? • How do you stop the boggy area from spreading? • Which plants would attract butterflies and insects? • How would you provide a safe platform for children to pond dip from? Can you think of any other questions?
