Inspired Art!
During the last two months all children have been taking a look at the improvements we have made to our school grounds. Digital photography has been used to make slide shows of what we are most proud of and what we would like to address next.
This FANTASTIC piece of art work was done by Ellie in Class 1, to show people what she liked best about our new school dipping platform. Can you spot what she saw?
Taking Shape!
Didn't look great did it?
But thanks to a £4000 grant from the Council, we are nearly ready to start planting up our rejuvenated pond.
As you can see we are having a fantastic dipping platform built and when the boards are down we'll be able to get cracking with the pond plants, the bog garden and the wild flowering banks.
We can't wait!
Want to get involved (pupils and parents) just let Mr. Firth know and we'll give you a job!
Harvest Time!
Forget 'Hammer Time' (ok so I'm old!) at Windy Nook it is 'Harvest Time'!
Last night our Busy Gardeners unearthed our first ever Windy Nook Spuds.
We uncovered the root and cut the leaves off to compost!
Then we dug out our little treasure, rinsed them and then stood proudly over them!
And we still had time to build a cane and net structure to protect our strawberries!
Windy Nook Nature Links
The floodgates are open!
Today sixty children from Y5 / 6 have made use of our new gate, giving us access to the wealth of learning opportunities on the Windy Nook Nature Park.
Peter Shield led three members of the Wildlife Team in delivering three excellent activities around the theme of habitat and adaptation.
Were you involved?
Perhaps you could leave a comment to share what you learned...
They've been at it again!
Those green fingered marvels from Windy Nook have spent another evening grafting away to improve the school grounds. Despite the change in the weather, they worked together to erect the first two sections of our 'Living Willow Fence'.
Come to the KS1 yard and have a look!
