Goldfish in the school pond

Reception and Year 1 got a wonderful surprise when a morning at the school field turned into the day that they released over 20 young goldfish into the school pond!  

Macey named her goldfish Penny

Each child got a chance to observe and admire his or her goldfish, give the goldfish a name, and let it swim off to join the others.

Freedom at last

The students love catching a glimpse of a bright orange fin or tail of the already fully-grown fish in the pond.  And they are even more excited to see how big their new goldfish get!
