How beautiful have our gorgeous surroundings looked these past few days in the sunshine? It’s given us the motivation to get out and get busy!
As our return to Leswalt Primary gets ever closer, our pupils have been getting their thinking caps on about ways to develop our school grounds once we’re back in residence. And they have LOTS of ideas!
Aided by the super knowledgeable Mrs Richardson, the children have been making plans and have decided to get the ball rolling now!
The plan is to grow some vegetables, herbs and flowers and so, pupils have been asked to bring any egg cartons so that we can start planting seeds in class next week. These can then be transferred straight into the garden area once back at school (and the ‘pots’ will decompose too!)
There are a number of other plans afoot too which the pupils will be busy putting into action over the coming weeks.
In the meantime, Mrs Richardson was ably assisted by Leswalt and Kirkcolm pupils during their lunch break today, and she then took a group from P5-7 to plant some shrubs by the fence of the school grounds. Next week, will be the turn of another group and we hope to involve P1-4 too! We received a grant of trees and shrubs from the Woodland Trust to help support our Eco Schools targets in supporting biodiversity.
Just look at the beaming smiles on these faces. Hello Spring indeed – it really is good to see you!
