Litter action team!

Gemma, Amina and Haneen have been working hard to tackle litter around our school grounds. Lots of crisp packets are blown into the pond in the Green Garden, outside Mrs Mackinnon's office. They managed to clean them all up in record time just before the light faded!

Before - Yuck!

 

Afterwards - Much nicer!

Drawing in the Green Garden

1L1 out drawing in the Green Garden during a short spell of sunshine this morning! Pupils are learning about bio-diversity through close observational drawing.

Eco Art Wall completed!

The art panels produced by 1H2 for the Green Garden have now been put up to form a fantastic frieze.

School Grounds Sketchbooks!

Here are our summer holiday "Headstarters" with their finished sketchbooks! We tried out watercolour, charcoal, chalk, pen and pencil drawings of different parts of our lovely school grounds. Lots of fun!

Meadow coming away nicely

Our new wildflower meadow in the Green Garden is establishing well, and several of the 20 native flower species in the turf have started flowering already. 

Ragged robin in the new meadow

Some of Ms MacBean's XL class who laid the wildflower turf.  NB no pupils were harmed during the taking of this photo.
