Our naturalists have a fascination for the natural world and develop an insight into how plants and animals rely on each other for existence.  Our gifted children not only absorb information about different creatures, but also appreciate how ecosystems work, and explore how they fluctuate in different conditions.  Then they can make suggestions about how ecosystems that are in crisis might be managed.

Gardening Club

Our school gardening club allows the children to show off their green fingers. Over the winter months the children worked inside, making and decorating their own pots and then growing plants in them, as well as taking an artistic look at nature using finger paints to do still life portraits!

Now the weather has brightened up the children are back outside and have already been turning over the raised beds in preparation for planting, and potting up potatoes. We are all eagerly awaiting the ‘putting up’ of our new greenhouse which the children have earned themselves by collecting (and bravely sorting) lots and lots of vouchers! The new greenhouse will open up a whole new growing avenue for the children, allowing them to expand their talents and work/grow outside most of the year.
