As part of their Eco-Friendly School duties, all pupils headed down to Portpatrick beach for a big clean up. Loaded with protective gloves, waterproofs and bin bags, the pupils worked hard to collect in all the litter to leave their community beach sparkling clean. We were pleasantly surprised at how little litter there was on the beach so it didn’t take long! The school then headed to the local park and collected some more rubbish there… and had a quick play on the swings as a reward for their hard work in the cold weather!
The hard work didn’t stop there though! On returning back to school, the children thought it would be a good idea to have a school clean! So all children scoured the school grounds for any excess rubbish.
This was an important lesson in learning respect for their community and surroundings! 🙂
