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

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!

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.  

Children enjoy lots of exciting Forest School activities in our after school clubs!

Reception class had lots of fun in the Forest School garden playing noughts and crosses with foraged materials.

Year One had fun learning about plants that attract bees and planting them around the school. We learnt how bees are very important for our environment.
