More Trees!

I have just order another free Hedge and Copse Pack from the woodland trust through their Green Tree Schools award. This has given us another 2 points in the scheme and now we are only 3 points from a GOLD award. Only 400 schools in the UK have this award.
We successfully planted 30 Birch, Cherry and Rowan trees as part of our give it some welly day and they are growing really well. The new tree pack that will arrive in November and will allow us to plant more in another area of the school and also replenish any trees that have not survived in the new wild woodland area. If you look to the left as you are walking up the drive, on the hill,you will see a patch of longer grass. This is where the trees are planted and the grass has been left to grow to encourage all sorts of plants and mini beasts. We plan to do a survey of the area and we have been told by Mr Orrell that we have a wide variety of plants and insects already at the site. We will publish our findings when they are ready.

Our next plans for the Green Tree awards are:
- To recycle Christmas cards, mobile phones and ink cartridges.
- To visit a woodland.
- To carry out the woodland and words project.
This will make us a GOLD School, so please support us if you can.
The Forest Rangers have to produce a whole lot of evidence to show that we have been working hard on the scheme too!!!!
BUSY BUSY BUSY.....
Thanks Mrs James
