Today marked the second day of our focus on sustainability: the school is split into three groups and each group is looking at one of Eco topics. These are litter, waste minimisation and biodiversity.
P1A and P1B-Waste Minimisation-Recycling your rubbish
P2-Litter-Putting Litter in its Place
P2/3-Litter-Looking after our School Environment
P3/4-Waste Minimisation-What does it mean to be Biodegradable?
P4/5-Biodiversity-Bird Feeders and Big Bird Watch
P5-Biodiveristy- Wildflower Garden
P6/7J-Litter: Cleaning up Linnvale's streets
P6/7G-Waste Minimisation-Small Changes Can Make Big Impact
P6/7D-Biodiveristy-Building a Bug House and mini beast surveys
Waste Minimisation inAction-Reusing Waste Material
The Forest School group today went out to tend to our overgrown willow tunnel and they started by weaving the new shoots in between the established growth to strengthen the tunnel. From the top, using loppers, they trimmed the longer woodier shoots which threatened to cause our tunnel to collapse. Instead of composting the pruned lengths, they decided they would like to learn new skill: willow weaving!
This involved working with a partner and encouraging each other.
Their fabulous first attempts are featured below!
I feel a willow weaving club could appear next year after school...

| Trimming the willow tunnel took some time. |
 |
| The first project: make small willow fence for the wildlife garden! |
 |
| Teamwork made the job easier. |
 |
| The group was keen to try another challenge and in only 20 minutes their baskets were taking shape! Aren't they wonderful! Teamwork and taking turns made this a smoother and more efficient process. |
