14th - 20th October 2024: 'Recycling week'

Children have been sorting rubbish and learning about recycling. The book ‘Maya and Marley and the Great Big Tidy Up’ helped children to understand how to look after our environments at home and in nursery.

National Education Nature Park Grant

In 2023-24 we were awarded a grant to help us improve the biodiversity of our site and to empower children and young people to make a positive difference to both their own and to nature’s future. As a result of the grant we were able to carry out a number of initiatives, including:

· Planting wildflowers

· Developing our planting areas

· Planting flowers / fruit & vegetables

· Adding climbing plants to fences

· Adding more rainwater storage and irrigation

· Investing in cameras and IT equipment to monitor and record developments

· Investing in tools & gardening gear

· Building Storage for our gardening tools & equipment

· Ensuring that all children have appropriate wet weather gear to access outdoors in all weathers
