Thursday 12th October, was the inaugural Junior King’s Environment Day. Pupils had a wonderful time building an enormous bug hotel whilst learning about habitats for insects and small mammals. They also enjoyed an autumn scavenger hunt, spotting some of the wide variety of plants, trees and animals around our school.  

The Kent Wildlife Trust visited to teach the pupils about beaver habitats and how to build beaver dams, and were amazed to hear that beavers live very close by in the river running through the school!

During lunchtime, the pupils enjoyed fun environmental games kindly run by pupils in the Eco groups from the International College and The King’s School, Canterbury.

It was a wonderful, inspirational morning for everyone, with the children learning so much more about the impacts on our environment.
