Planting Conkers, Protecting the Future

🍂 Autumn brings with it shiny conkers - treasures that hold the potential to grow into magnificent horse chestnut trees. 🌳

Our Sapphires have been busy planting conkers, learning how something so small can grow into something so grand. This hands-on experience nurtures their curiosity, care and responsibility for the natural world. 🌱

Sadly, horse chestnut trees are now classed as vulnerable due to pests and disease, meaning they could one day disappear from parts of Europe. By planting conkers, children are not only exploring the wonder of growth, but also playing their part in protecting these much-loved trees for the future. 🌰
