Summary:

Inspiring stories about school projects that make a difference.The story of how one group of primary school children got real hands-on experience in raising salmon from eggs to young adults and then releasing them into their local river. Pupils at Tonyrefail Primary School, South Wales, set up a hatchery in their boiler room with the help of Environment Agency Wales, and cared for the eggs. When they hatched the children nicknamed the tiny fish black eyed peas . After 3 weeks the hatchery was too small so the fish were taken to the agency's hatchery and raised further. Three months later the pupils visit and are given a tour, picking up their salmon fry to return them to the wild. Releasing these fish into their local river has a big impact on the schoolchildren and in class-based follow-up work they make a wall presentation in the school as well as teaching their fellow pupils what they had learnt themselves.
