Today, as part of our whole school sustainability project, Year 6 proudly contributed to the micro forest by planting a variety of trees in Jack’s Key with support from Lancashire County Council Treescapes and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council. This exciting opportunity allowed the children to take positive action in caring for their local environment and to understand the important role trees play in supporting wildlife, improving air quality and tackling climate change.
Working together in teams, the children carefully planted each sapling, learning about the different species and how they will grow over time. They showed fantastic teamwork, responsibility and enthusiasm throughout the activity.
This hands on experience not only supports our school’s commitment to sustainability but also helps to create a lasting legacy for future pupils and the wider community.
