We have been having huge successes in our School Garden and Playground.
Last session’s P3,4,5 class found out some fantastic news this morning..they have won the Grow Your Own Potatoes initiative competition with the heaviest crop and largest tuber from all Western Scotland schools. The boys and girls will be awarded with a beautiful rainbow Buddy Bench, which will be wonderful for all the playground improvements that we have planned. The bench will take pride of place somewhere of their choice, so look out for it appearing in our playground soon. Huge congratulations everyone!
Before the summer and during the summer break a group of pupils tirelessly tended to their garden, preparing the ground, planting seeds and regularly watering all the vegetables, plants and flowers. The playground has never looked so colourful! Due to their careful attention, the Gardening Club were able to add their very first entry into the Glenkens’ Flower and Vegetable show last Saturday. Amazingly the Gardening Club were awarded 3rd place for their green beans, turnip and marrow entries. Well done everyone, you have worked so hard!
