River dipping and improving the environment

Scott class had a wonderful morning in Duffield. The children took part in two activities. Firstly, they helped pick Himalayan Balsam (an invasive non-native species of plant) that is suffocating other plant life on our river banks. Secondly, they did some river dipping to test the cleanliness of the River Ecclesbourne. They found leeches, Bullhead fish and various other larvae. I think some were disappointed not to have landed a shark, but they all enjoyed themselves nevertheless.
