Firm roots are being established by the Reception children at Moreton First as they mark the start of the Autumn term by planting trees.
The new samplings will be positioned around the perimeter of the primary school and the children will be encouraged to nurture and care for their trees watching them grow and flourish.
The initiative, ‘Plant a Tree, Grow with Me’ introduced by Headteacher Catherine Ford said, “The children have loved planting their trees and are now looking forward to seeing them grow over the months and years to come. We hope this will be a long-lasting memory for the young children as they commence their learning journey here at Moreton First.”
The idea for planting the trees stemmed from Moreton First’s strong commitment in protecting the environment through its Forest School and inspired by a handwritten letter received from Sir David Attenborough commending the students on their involvement in protecting the planet.
Mrs Ford, continued “We hope that through the tree planting not only are we increasing children’s environmental awareness but we hope to provide them with a sense of belonging.
The aim is for every child starting school will be able to plant their own tree and together we can watch their transition.“
