The children at Wenhaston Primary School have some new activities to look forward to this year, as well as the familiar woodland management.
We have been running the Woodland Care activities since 2012 and they involve collecting tree seed and planting it in the school tree nursery, planting out saplings, tree care like mulching and weeding, learning about woodland ecosystems and identifying trees along with games like ‘Bat and Moth’, ‘Tikki , Tikki Touch’ and ‘Squirrels’.
So, if you like the sound of helping on any of those Woodland Care days please get in touch it is always good to have enthusiastic adults around to talk to the children about the trees they are working with.
Alternatively, you may prefer to imagine some magical tales set in woodland, perhaps you have ideas for a mini beast winter celebration, or messages of welcome for the special features of spring to display on a branch. We have a teddy bear’s picnic planned as well as craft ideas like small winter wreaths and migrating swallow darts. Wherever you skills or interests lie please come and work with the children and help us to pass on our love of the natural world.
