This year we have our new eco-schools committee. We have been focused on helping to get our forest school area ready to use. This has been a great job for us to concentrate on.
- We have a fantastic fire pit. We can’t wait to toast marshmallows and make soup on here.
- We also have our bug hotels. Each class helped to build these and they are checked regularly for new ‘guests’.
- This is our forest school entrance. We are waiting to decide the name for our forest school and it will go pride of place on this entrance way.
We now have a great space for our forest school activities during enrichment time on a Friday afternoon!
Take a look at what we have been doing.

Learning through Landscapes Training
Staff at Larkspur were lucky enough to receive some funding for some outdoor education training. They received a variety of new resources to use outdoors with their classes including log seats and den building materials. This has led to more creative opportunities in the outdoors with teachers taking their learning outside and making developing more enquiry based opportunities for our pupils. Year 6 enjoyed making their own Hobbit hole dens from natural materials as well as exploring 2D shape in their local environment .
