Today, our whole school community celebrated Earth Day 2026. 🌍💚

Children took part in a range of creative activities linked to caring for our planet. Year 5 explored Hapa Zome, Year 3 created bubble nature art, Year 4 completed leaf rubbings using recycled crayons and Year 6 used quilling to create nature-inspired pictures.
Year R and Year 1 created pictures of Planet Earth, Year 2 used geometric shapes to design the Earth. Year R also enjoyed blending colours with pens and water to make planets.

We were delighted to welcome Jacqui, Community Champion from Asda Waterlooville, who helped Year 1 create natural bird feeders using lard, pine cones and bird seed.

The whole school also took part in litter picking, collecting over 7 bin liners of rubbish from our grounds. This helped children learn that small actions can make a big difference in caring for our environment.

We are so proud of how our pupils embraced Earth Day and showed such care for the world around them. 🌱♻️

✨ Welcome to Our New Year R Families! ✨

A big welcome to all the children and families joining us this September as part of the Springwood community 💚

Your welcome packs (including all the important paperwork) are on their way in the post and should be with you by the end of this week 📬

We can’t wait to meet your little ones and start this exciting journey together! 🌟
