Crann - Trees for Ireland

Active, experimental and fun learning workshop with Ellie in Ballycar N.S. which included a demonstration lesson in tree planting, teaching some gardening and woodland skills, lessons in ecoliteracy. biodiversity awareness and planet care. Green Flag Committee members also greatly benefitted from mentoring received on the day from Ellie. Each class planted their own tree to nurture, protect and observe as the years go by. Cherry Blossom Class pupils planted a holly tree, Junior classroom pupils planted an oak tree and Senior classroom pupils planted a hazel tree which showed pupils how valuable the trees are to themselves and the wonders of the natural world. Hoping all pupils leaving Ballycar N.S in the years ahead will take an acorn from the Ballycar N.S oak tree to plant wherever they put down roots.
