Pond Kit Info Guide

Guide learners in planning, building and maintaining their own pond, using literacy and numeracy skills throughout. This enrichment programme will help them learn to:

• measure and estimate materials required and the costs of their project, ensuring that they stay within budget
• write letters and carry out research to obtain more information
• keep diaries and collect data on the plants and wildlife.

In addition, there is a variety of outside activity, both observing and planning and then carrying out the physical work to build their pond and develop a natural wildlife environment. This programme encourages young people to work as a cohesive group.

The info guide is a booklet that provides an overview of the different stages of pond development.

These materials were developed by ECOTEC Research and Consulting Ltd and Artists on behalf of the Arts Council England and the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales.
