Portpatrick Primary enjoyed a special Religious Observance session with Reverend Brakey, Fiona and Mrs Ross, where we celebrated the wonder of creation and our responsibility as stewards of the natural world.
During the session, the children showed their creativity and care for nature by making eco-friendly bird feeders. Using strips of willow and wooden blocks kindly donated by the Men’s Shed, pupils carefully wove and shaped their feeders, then filled them with seed balls ready to hang outdoors.
This hands-on activity supported our Eco Schools target of Biodiversity and helped us work towards achieving our RSPB Wild Challenge Award. It was lovely to see our bird feeders displayed at the recent school fundraiser coffee morning, helping ensure that birds across our community will be well fed this autumn.
We are very proud of the children for showing such care and respect for the environment — and for working together to make a real difference. 🌍💚
