In the coming weeks we will also be planting up the area around the hide with plants to encourage further wildlife into the school grounds.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1368 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/birdhidewhole.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/birdhidewhole-300x203.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/birdhidewhole-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/birdhidewhole-441x300.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/birdhidewhole.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/birdwatching.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/birdwatching-300x203.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/birdwatching-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/birdwatching-441x300.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/birdwatching.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"attachment_1371\" style=\"width: 204px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/diary.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1371\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1371\" alt=\"Our Wildlife Diary\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/diary-194x300.jpg\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/diary-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/diary.jpg 415w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1371\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our Wildlife Diary<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The children have been busy checking out the new hide giving their suggestions for kitting it out and improving its surroundings.
