The boys and girls of Portpatrick Primary rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in to some planting on Friday. We applied to the Woodland Trust to receive a grant of 20 different tree saplings and 20 shrubs for our school grounds. The aim of the project is to support biodiversity and to create natural habitats for wildlife in our area. We have been gifted species such as rowan, birch, hawthorn and dog rose to name but a few.
As part of our British Science Week activities, the children were given the opportunity to find out about what plants need in order to grow and survive. They will have the opportunity to observe and record their findings and use what they have learned to grow healthy plants in school.
It is hoped that the plants will flourish and give pleasure for years to come.
