Bee in the Park!

Primary 1,1/2 and P2 have been learning about bees and the important role they play in making our planet healthy. They decided to make our school grounds an amazing space for pollinators by desiging and making insect friendly gardens. The children got a budget and they went to B and Q to speak to one of their garden centre colleagues and to choose some plants for their gardens. They also carried out a big survey and also learned about how to grow a seed and they sowed wildflower seeds in their gardens. Here is a photo of their garden-it is something rather special I am sure you will agree!

Pocket Garden "The Sirens"

Here is a sneak preview of our winning entry for the pocket garden competition...we made it through to the public vite-one of 45 ssuccessful entriues from 345. A HUGE congratulation to the pupils of P6/7B who entered 4 entries and one diseign, The Sirens, was selected to be made into a real garden. Doesn't it look rather fabulous?! It would fit in well at Chelsea Garden Show! #EcoSchools #YearOfStories #Gardening#PocketGarden #EcoSchools @savebutterflies @scottishbktrust #Schools #Biodiversity

Pocket Garden

Here is our pocket garden journey! We have a few finishing touches to make and then it will be reafy to be revealed!

Spring Clean!

Our polycrub benefitted from a spring clean from P6/7B! They washed the interior and Mr Hay showed them how to dog over a flowerbed-w couple commented how it was hard work! The seeds planted for the Pocket garden have sprouted!

Sunflower Appeal

P4 you are awesome! You are doing an zing job to raise money for the Ukrainian refugees by selling your sunflower kits! Now the sunflower growing competition between classes begins!

Pocket Garden Winners

Congratulations to Maya, Nevaeh and Matthew who designed the winning entry "Sirens" in the national Pocket Garden Design Competition-therer were over 340 entries and they were one of 45 winning designs. Now we have to build and create the garden! The seeds have been sown in window sill propagators and the lettuce is sprouting already so we have made a good start! The rest of the P6 pupils in Miss Baxter's class are involved in creating the design and have spent an afternoon researching where we could get the best deals for the seeds and other items needed. Some have volunteered the services of family members to help with the construction!

New Eco Committee

The new Eco Committee met today and introduced themselves to each other. It was great to get everyone together at last! We have received many of the completed Environmental Reviews and there are just a couple to follow. To do: Order Eco Committee badges Arrange Grassy Pitch competition Go over the Environmental Review Here is the Eco Committee-some members chose to stay on and many pupils applied to join.

Polycrub Preparation!

P6/7B came out this morning and howd, weeded and dug in the chicken manure pellets to the beds in the pilycrub before watering the soil. Once back in school, they looked at what can be sown in the coming weeks and a list has been started! Next time we will clean the polycarbonate inside and out (well the bits we can reach!) and oil the hinges etc. Here they are hard at work!
