Thank you to Mr Magnall who ordered Allerton CE Primary free trees to plant from the Woodland Trust. This was definitely an activity for Forest Schools and we decided that the bare metal fence at the back of school was a perfect place to plant our hedging.

First, we thought of reasons why we should plant trees.

Cameron said ” They give us air that we need to breathe,” Remy thought about the homes they provide for birds. We also talked about owls, squirrels, and all the mini beasts that have trees as a habitat.

We them looked at identifying the saplings to be planted.

The children chose their sapling and we then planted it in front of the fence, with a label.

Here are some planting photos!
