Pupils had a surprise during a pond-dipping trip when they spotted a grass snake capturing a frog.
Ms Fry described the group’s surprise at seeing the grass snake in action before the frog was able to free itself and escape.
She told the PA news agency: “We were lucky to see a grass snake capturing a frog.
“After several minutes the lucky frog managed to escape.
Headteacher Vanessa Webster said: “Kingfisher Barn is a lovely local resource on our doorstep which we fully take advantage of as it’s less than a five-minute walk.
“The year five children were studying rivers and their local habitats. William was particularly thrilled by his pond dipping find – a ghost phantom midge.”
