If you have visited the school over the past week, you may well have noticed the fantastic new hedging along the front playground called a Green Screen.  

Following a consultation, Nash Mills was chosen as a pilot school for a project looking into the impact of being located on a main road and the noise and air pollution that this creates.  Not only does the Green Screen provide a much nicer look to the front of the school, but it is also hoped that it will improve the air quality within the school and reduce noise from the road.  Data is currently being collected and we hope to see some positive results in the coming weeks.

We are incredibly grateful that this project has been conducted and funded by Dacorum Borough Council's Climate Action team.  This morning, members of the council, including local councillors came to visit to see the installation for themselves.

On Tuesday we were joined by Sam, a Hertfordshire County Cricket coach who ran workshops for all year groups as part of the "chance to shine" cricket programme.  It was a brilliant day filled with lots of activities based around the game.

It was fun and Sam was really good.  I really liked hitting off the tees - Noah Y5

The gardening club have been working hard to get the anniversary garden ready for a new season of flowers and plants and we need your help!  If you have any cuttings, seeds or plants you are willing to donate, we'd be very grateful so that we can make it as colourful and wildlife-friendly as possible.  

If you can donate please bring items to the school office and I will collect them.

Thank you.

Mrs Lewis and my green fingered gardening club!
