We had a lovely first half term to 2026! Our diligent Eco Committee members participated in this year’s Big Bird Watch and submitted their results which is helping the RSPB estimate whether populations are growing or declining across the country. We spotted gulls, tits and sparrows as well as one little wagtail that likes to visit outside of the school reception in the morning hours. They have really had a valuable contribution to monitoring and encouraging biodiversity across the site.
We also spent some time learning how to make seed snails. We know that not everyone has access to a massive garden or allotment, so we practiced how you can sow seeds in a smaller space so that you can grow your own veg on your window ledge! These space savers are great for starting seeds off and then when they are big enough, you can transfer them to pots that can also sit on your window ledge if you don’t have an outdoor space. Well done everyone for a fantastic first half term to 2026! We’re hoping to plant their tomatoes, cucumber, carrot, aubergine and watermelon by Easter so they can settle in over the holiday.
