What an amazing Eco Day!
Thank you to all of the parents and grandparents who came along today to help out with the various volunteer led sessions run for the pupils on Eco Day, it was jam packed with activities which we couldn't have run without your support. A taster of some of the sessions: - fun-filled educational sessions with the 'Hive Helpers' from Farnham Community Farm learning about the importance of caring for our various pollinators, learning how a bee hive works and enjoying a honey tasting; - Eco Team led workshops about the importance of trees and making parcels of bay leaves to take home for our kitchens; - walks through the forest with our local Woodland Trust volunteer Tree Warden Ben Hamlin to collect acorns and conkers which we then planted in order to grow "take away" tree saplings which the pupils will take home in a year or two; and - making bug hotels out of recycled plastic bottles which will live on the back of the potting shed for the winter to provide a safe spot for hiberation for a whole host of insects and invertebrates. We hope all of the pupils had a fun-filled day and made some wonderful memories!
