Hooray for Apple Season!
Our Year 2 and Year 3 children from the Afterschool Crèche Club recently enjoyed a wonderful visit to our Forest School area alongside Mr Traynor and Ms McLernon.
The children began by checking on the young apple tree planted last year and were delighted to discover that it had produced its very first apple. They then turned their attention to our more established apple trees, which have enjoyed a particularly successful year and are laden with fruit.
The boys and girls carefully counted the apples before helping to pick a selection from the trees. Excitement grew as they gathered the fruit and talked about how it might be used. The apples were then delivered to our canteen manager, Rick, who was delighted to receive this home-grown harvest.
Rick thanked the children for their efforts and promised to create a delicious treat using the school's freshly picked apples. We can't wait to see what he comes up with and, more importantly, to have a taste!
It was a lovely opportunity for the children to learn more about nature, food production and the rewards of caring for our outdoor environment.
We couldn't have picked a better day!
