The children of Trannack School are getting closer to nature after a new outdoor learning area was installed over the summer holidays.
Pupils at the school, which already had a natural and wooded area, can now have more lessons outside, after a £10,000 lottery grant allowed them to have the work carried out.
Head teacher Emma Stritt said: “Now we can have more structured activities. Now it’s been completed we have started to use it, for woodland skills, and for a lot of learning activities: if we can get them outside learning we will.”
She added: “The children really love it, they have got so much from it already. They have always enjoyed the environmental area but this extends it now to really make it beautiful for their learning.”
She added that the area was also being offered to community groups, such as the Brownies who already use the facility.
The school has an open afternoon today (21/10) in the new outdoor area, with children from other schools invited to come and experience the new facility.
