As part of national Outdoor Learning Day, Primary 4-7 have been very busy in the sunshine. Following on for our Eco targets focussing on litter, we carried out a community litter survey and village clean under the guidance of our Community Safety Officers Caroline, Colin and Alistair. The children used the criteria cited in the standards for Codes of Practice Litter and Refuse (Scotland 2006) to rate our community under a number of inspection areas. Our consensus was that, after closer inspection, our village was rated between B – C. This information will be shared with the Community Safety Management team and with our local community council.
We were joined in our endeavours by Quentin, our local public works and maintenance worker, who was on his very last day ever keeping Portpatrick streets clean and tidy with his cart. He retires tomorrow and we are grateful for all of his help in keeping everything spick and span.
The children enjoyed participating in our community event. Myles said he felt proud helping to keep our village clean. Mia said it was good helping Quentin do his important job.
