Summer 2024

Forest School

On 5 June, to raise awareness about environmental issues, pupils celebratedWorld Environment Day with various engaging activities. Teachers emphasised the importance of bees in our ecosystem by promoting the planting of bee friendly plants in our gardens, contributing to their conservation. They also learned to tie a Reef Knot, a useful skill for many outdoor tasks. Emulating beavers, they also built our own dams using natural loose materials, gaining insight into how these structures can impact and benefit local environments. Making the most of the good weather, pupils had fun colouring and playing in the mud kitchen.
