We often teach our children about ways they can look after the planet and their environment; it’s an important part of our Curriculum. The Eco Council, Department for Community Outreach and Department for Outdoor Learning are incredibly passionate about their roles and had the great idea of inviting families in to plant trees on our site. We applied for some saplings from the Woodland Trust and then invited families to contribute £4 for a tree sapling and the equipment they’d need to plant it. Families then came in one day after school to plant their saplings at the bottom of our school field. So far, we’ve planted around 60 new saplings on our site. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that they make it through the winter and grow big and tall over the next 100 years! We have taken photos of each family who planted a tree and will have these turned into a big canvas for our school.
