In Early Years, children’s learning is based on a number of exciting topics, as well as through the children’s current interests and curiosities. We are incredibly proud to announce that we have been awarded the prestigious Green Tree Schools Platinum Award by the Woodland Trust for getting involved in green activities including tree planting, visiting local woodland, reducing carbon emissions and being a woodland ambassador. We take every opportunity to bring the great outdoors, wildlife and green issues into the classroom.

Our nursery classroom offers enriching activities to enhance children’s learning and curiosity. In our Early Years setting, children have the opportunity to explore indoors and outdoors, making links between the two learning environments.
“The best classroom and the widest cupboard is roofed only by the sky.”

At Blackhall Bluebells much of our learning is based outside where contact with nature enhances creativity, well-being, attention and self- discipline skills. It also fosters an interest and enjoyment of learning.

We are currently in our sixth year of carrying out forest schools and have successfully achieved the Woodland’s Trust ‘Green Tree School Gold Award’ for our dedication to the outdoor curriculum.
Last year we extended our outdoor activities and now offer a beach school programme throughout the year. During our ‘Outdoor Adventures’ the children have visited the local woodland and beach. They confidently explored den building, nature sculptures, tree climbing and FIRE!
At Blackhall Primary School we value the contributions parents/ carers make to their children’s education. In our nursery we have established excellent home school links and are proud of the fact that parents happily share learning experiences through Tapestry. By working together we can ensure each child achieves the best possible outcomes. We also offer workshops to enhance parental learning. Information to follow…
We are committed to improving the oral health of our children through the Early Years Tooth Brushing Programme. Blackhall Bluebells have regular visits from our local dentist nurse to encourage regular tooth brushing.
