École Novel: educational workshops during the works
As part of schoolyard greening projects, educational actions with children have been set up at the Novel school, which is still under construction.
The site began on March 7 in the nursery courtyard of the Novel school with the creation of landscaping, planting work and the installation of new furniture for the children. Completed at the end of June, this courtyard will therefore be reallocated and work on the third elementary courtyard will thus be able to begin this summer.
In the end, not far from 4,000m2 will therefore be planted for the Novel school.
Raising children’s awareness of plants
As such, a first educational action took place in mid-April with the children weaving three willow huts in the courtyard.
A reflection is carried out in order to propose dedicated times with the children to make them aware of the maintenance of these huts and other green spaces. A second phase of planting will take place in the fall, an opportunity to offer students a new workshop.
