The Environmental Garden
The Environmental Garden has been open for nearly six months and is used regularly by the children in a variety of activities and lessons. It is at the centre of the school's policy of experiential learning and using the the outdoor environment to further the children's knowledge and understanding of the world around us. Below are some of the features of the garden.

Here is one of the three ponds which occupy the garden area. This wonderful area provides a habitat for a range of plants and animals. As the area matures we hope that the variety of wildlife will expand to provide an excellent learning resource for the school. |

Here is the amphitheatre which is used for story telling, philosophy, drama and sometimes to sit and sketch. There is a fire pit in the centre of the amphitheatre but has yet to be trialled. |
