Gold Award Winners for our Green Tree Award

The Green Tree Schools Award is a Woodland Trust programme that rewards schools for completing environmental activities. At Broadbent Fold we provided the evidence for “Celebrate Extraordinary Trees”, “Connect Pupils with Nature”, “Improve Wellbeing in School” and, “Platinum Projects – A Woodland Perspective”. We are now working on our Platinum with Inside Out Forest School and our amazing staff and pupils. If any families want to help with our projects, please reach out to school.  


Apple picking time!

Today we had the joy of picking apples from our school grounds. Our Eco-Leaders then chopped these up and handed to our pupils. I think our plan next is to bake a crumble! 


Our New Eco-Leaders

This year we continue Eco-Schools with our new Leaders Elwin and Ella. We will follow the Eco-Schools framework to increase environmental education and deliver projects that increase sustainability, develop green skills and model green careers. 


Forest school

Another fantastic day for forest school, where the class played games, roasted marshmallows and made wax sticks. 


Forest Schools is Back!

Inside Out Forest School has started with us this term to deliver high quality sessions outdoors for our pupils. Year 5 are the first to restart. We are so excited! 


Nature Scavenger Hunt and Bug Hunting

This week we went on a super Nature Scavenger Hunt. We had to find different natural objects that were either smooth, tiny or large. We found lots of shiny blue Alder Beetles and so we improved the bug hotel and then we found some tiny snails and ground beetles.
