100 Years of Sir David Attenborough with Forest School
We have been celebrating 100 years of Sir David Attenborough!
We have discussed how his TV programmes and books have educated us all our lives, inspiring us to explore and care for the planet we live on. Because of Sir David, we know so much more about the world around us and through his work have been able to experience nature in a way we never would.
The children talked about their favourite animals, appreciating that programmes where they had first seen these animals were, in fact, part of Sir David’s work.
We then headed out of the woods and scattered some native wildflower seeds in the school grounds, hopeful of a beautiful display this summer.
His most renowned quote about children and nature is…

His most renowned quote about children and nature is…

Happy 100th Birthday and Thank You!
