End of term Forest School sessions

28/3/2024

 
Our Reception class enjoyed their final #forestschool session of the term this week. They particularly loved the fire pit and toasted marshmellows!

RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch

9/2/2024

 
St Mary's were excited to take part in this annual survey, along with thousands of people across the country.  Our team of enthusiastic ornithologists used their binoculars to carefully observe and count the number of bird species in our Forest School Garden. The data sent to the RSPB will help them to build up a picture of how our wildlife is faring. We also filled some new bird feeders and hung them around the garden to encourage more birds to visit and hopefully nest in the Spring time. 

End of the Autumn term

14/12/2023

 
We celebrated the last Forest Friends session of the term with a fire pit and toasted marshmallows!

Children in our Reception class love their weekly forest school sessions!

Forest Friends Autumn 2023

27/9/2023

 
Every Wednesday, our Forest Friends meet to enjoy exploration, games and fun in our Forest School. All pre-school children are welcomed and it's a good chance for their parents to enjoy our lovely Forest School Garden and meet with school staff. 

Year 3 exploring stories

10/9/2023

 
The children had a great time in the Forest School, gathering resources to build story settings and to make a home for Kevin (the flying pony) who is the main character in their class reading book.

Year 5 whittling session

6/7/2023

 
Year 5 had a great session in the Forest School garden learning to whittle wood!

Forest Friends

26/6/2023

 
This week at Forest Friends we played hunt the pine cones and the ducks using special mini grabbers. The children did brilliantly well to find all the hidden items. We also sang lots of lovely songs!

We meet up in the school office at 9am.  The sessions are aimed at children under 5 including babies and there is a chance to chat and have some healthy snacks afterwards  - all are welcome.

Visiting Gardeners and Year 2 share their knowledge and skills

16/6/2023

 
We were delighted to welcome members from a local community gardening group, who regularly maintain the Therapeutic garden at St Mary's church. Our Year 2 children were proud to show our guests around their Forest School and the visitors had a great time exploring the space. There was also time for an exchange of gardening skills, as the children showed our visitors how to water the garden and also learned from the gardening team how to create and maintain the compost heap. We look forward to many more visits!

Beekeeping

3/6/2023

 
Following the planting of Bee Friendly plants around the school, we were delighted to welcome visitors from the London Beekeepers Association, who met with every class in KS2 to teach them all about bees. The talks were informative and helped to develop the children's understanding of ecosystems, biodiversity and the vital role that bees play in food production and plant life cycles.
