Ninety reception class pupils from Ysgol Y Llawnt, Upper Rhymney and Bryn Bach Primary schools attended a special ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’ recently at the Coed Bryn Oer Plant woodland site near Parc Bryn Bach, north of Rhymney.

The pupils, accompanied by a Teddy Bear Mascot, were entertained by a story teller, made wands and crowns from willow stems, took part in Teddy Bear games and bush tucker fruit trials.

After the activities, each school planted a tree with their Teddy Bear Mascot.

The event was organised by Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Countryside Ranger Service as a part of the Welsh Government’s PLANT initiative – which aims to have a tree planted for every child born or adopted in Wales.

To find out more about the project at Coed Bryn Oer please contact Ageliki Politis on 01495 235219 or email polita@caerphilly.gov.uk
