Learning about trees in the great outdoors
The children took part in a discussion about the importance of trees, how they provide habitats for wildlife, capture carbon and the photosynthesis process, before getting involved and planting some trees themselves on the school field.
Prior to the visit with the pupils, a member of The Mersey Forest team visited the site and met with staff there to check on ground conditions, soil quality and assess the best locations on the site to plant trees.
The school is in an urban area and the selection of native trees provided, through the Trees for Climate programme, has helped to create additional green spaces for the school community to enjoy.
Five areas on the school site were selected to plant the trees on, including an area of hazel and willow coppice, which they hope to use for art projects such as willow weaving in the future.
A small orchard was also planted, providing an area where pupils have the opportunity to learn more about fruit, healthy food options and the growing process.
On the day of planting pupils were provided with full instructions on how to plant the trees, including a safety talk on the appropriate use of the tools, and information provided on how to continue to care for them so that they become fully established.
In total, 60 year 5 pupils were involved in the planting sessions and the teachers said how much they had all enjoyed it and were really engaged with the process, particularly pupils that would sometimes struggle learning in a classroom environment.
