Celebrating Our Climate‑Ready Classroom Award Achievement May 2026 - The Weatherbies visited our school today to help us celebrate receiving this fantastic award. They were delighted to see all the wonderful eco‑work happening in Nursery and how we use their characters to help our children learn about climate change from such a young age. Their visit recognised the creativity, enthusiasm, and commitment shown by our pupils as they explore weather, sustainability, and caring for our world.

Trip to Gransha Woods

Back to News

19th Feb 2025

Today we visited Gransha Woods and spent the entire morning embracing all the woodland has on our doorstep. The children took part in lots of activities ranging from a scavenger hunt in which they were tasked with tree/leaf identification and even spotted some grey squirrels as they ran around the trees above them!! Once again we had the support of our wonderful parents who came with us on our trip and the children certainly enjoyed the morning outdoors which also enhanced their own knowledge of woodland creatures and the variety of trees and plants growing there! We have now completed all activities on our journey to receive The Gold Award now as part of our involvement in The NI Woodland Trust schools award!
