Neston Infants Swap Classrooms for Wellies!

Infant pupils at Neston Primary School have swapped the warm and comfort of their classrooms and spent most of this week learning in the school grounds.

The children brought their wellies to school as they explored the grounds, planted bulbs, made kites, built dens, taken part in a treasure hunt, learnt about different animals and trees and planted 30 new trees.

The children made and decorated their own kites which were then tested on the field. Great fun was had, even though some kites flew better than others!

Each child helped to plant thirty saplings - kindly donated by The Woodland Trust and Sainsbury's. The Woodland Trust project will see 300,000 children plant native trees in their school grounds and community spaces across the country this autumn.

Class teacher Emma Cawley said, "We aim to use our fantastic school grounds more this year and have just started work on a wildlife garden. During the week we hope that that the children will enjoy the outdoors, have fun and learn a lot more about the environment, as well as planting trees that will be here for the next generation of pupils."
