Year 3's planting project
Year 3 are learning how to look after our environment.
They are learning about the importance of planting trees and creating habitats for wildlife. We started on a tree planting project which will continue over this term. First of all, we had to check the planting area for litter and remove any long grass and brambles which were competing with the young trees planted last year. The next job will be to plant our young trees which will continue along the length of the fencing to continue our "wildlife corridor". The saplings were provided by the Woodland Trust, all native wildlife friendly species such as hawthorn, crab-apples, wild cherry and rowan and we have been running this tree planting project for at least 5 years. It was great to see the children getting stuck in to some physical work and working as a team.
