Year 4’s Planting Adventure!

Year 4 rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty this week as they took part in Cormac’s Green Shoots community project at the Playing Fields!

Both classes embraced the challenge, taking on everything from planning and digging to planting bulbs and native shrubs—and even a bit of litter-picking to keep the space looking great. Both classes were a credit to the school – no matter the task, every child threw themselves into the project with enthusiasm!

A huge thank you to Melissa, Becky, and Kelly from Cormac, who made sure every child felt involved and valued throughout the process. Their support and guidance turned this into a truly hands-on learning experience.

It was fantastic to see the children so engaged, and they’ve already told us they’re keen to visit the Playing Fields more often—what a brilliant legacy for this project! We’ll definitely be planning some of our school learning in this wonderful space to make the most of their hard work and the new picnic area.

More photos to come soon—watch this space!
