Children from Five Lanes CofE Primary School, near Devizes, have planted the first plants in a new pond at their Key Stage 2 site in Worton.

The children were also able to thank the organisers of a recent auction of promises who passed over £4,400 towards the project on behalf of Worton parochial church council. Proceeds from the successful auction were shared between Five Lanes and Christ Church, Worton.

Sarah Julyan and her team from Different by Design, who took ideas from the school before transforming the pond, helped put the finishing touches to the pond last week.

They have worked with the school throughout the grounds development project, which will ultimately include a tyre activity trail, sensory garden and outdoor shelter.
