Year four teacher Connor Bracegirdle said the activities were about creating the ‘responsible citizens of the future’.
He added: “They have created nest boxes and bird feeders. It’s really about enhancing and preserving nature.
“It’s a fun and unique way of doing it and the kids absolutely love it.

Charlie Pass, director of Wildaid UK, said: “We do a lot of wildlife conservation work with schools.
“It’s really much-needed work about the natural world.
“Getting the message out about conservation and wildlife is making a huge difference.”
