One of the activities funded by the Areti Charitable Trust was a day of caving for Lancaster Boys & Girls Club. Over the February half-term they visited Ormside Mill in the Yorkshire Dales and – kitted out in the appropriate gear – went to Thistle and Runscar Caves near the Ribblehead Viaduct and then to the Great Douk Cave.
The trustees met at the beginning of January to consider recent applications and made the following awards:
Forty-five pupils from Morecambe Bay CP School visited RSPB Leighton Moss yesterday to find out about birds and insects and to try out pond-dipping. It was impressive that they already knew about predators and camouflage. Everyone seemed to enjoy it – not least the adults.
The Areti Trust has just made three further grants:
Children from Skerton St Luke’s CE and West End primary schools were the first groups to visit the RSPB reserve at Leighton Moss. Thirty reception class pupils from St Luke’s and 53 year 3 and 4 pupils from West End visited at the beginning of this week to try out pond dipping and other activities.
The Areti Trust is funding two more schools to visit RSPB Leighton Moss bird reserve next term – St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School and Westgate Primary School.
The Areti Trust is pleased to report that Sandylands Community Primary School will be visiting Leighton Moss RSPB bird reserve in the summer term.
