\"jlb-harvest-the-seeds-of-success\"<\/a>Children at John Logie Baird Primary School have been working with Waitrose to develop Enterprise and business skills across the school. Following the pupils planning, measuring building and filling their own raised beds, Waitrose donated seeds to the school. Each class divided them up and planted them.

Waitrose invited the pupils back to sell their produce in store to their customers. The children harvested and prepared their crops for sale including marrows, broad beans, celery and shallots. In total the school raised over \u00a340. Depute Head Teacher, Allison Smith said, \u201cThis has been a great opportunity for the children to learn out with the classroom.
