Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Jess Smith
It was great to see 5 Goodgymers out in Windsor for tonight's task. We met at the lovely Trinity St Stephen's First School and found our task leader Sonia and other parents from the school.
She explained to us that the Year 4 parents had brought 3 bug hotels, as a leaving gift, for the school to create a pollinator garden and help aid the children's eco-learning. To create this wildlife haven we needed to dig a border flowerbed to allow space for the hotels and loads of pollinator friendly plants and flowers.
We got dug in straight away creating the flowerbed by removing the top layer of grass and soil. We were aided by some of the children who watered the ground for us to make it softer. Once the grass was removed, we turned the soil over and then added the peat-free compost. With our best Charlie Dimmock impressions we then arranged the plants and flowers, making sure we mixed colours, heights and varities to create a welcoming haven for bugs and insects to explore and make their home.
We think the little garden is a great legacy for the children to leave as they move on to their new schools and we hope that many children, and bugs, will enjoy this little haven.
We are a small First School and will be holding our annual fundraising school fair on 22nd June 2024.
