As part of our Eco Schools action points, the children were set a challenge of designing an Eco Mascot for Portpatrick Primary. The requirements were to draw a mascot that represented our eco targets incorporating recycling features into their creation.<\/p>\n

The entries were so good we decided to award a prize for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.<\/p>\n

Sammy has now taken pride of place on our Eco Display.<\/p>\n

Linking across topics, the children in P5 – 7 also created party manifestos incorporating elements of Learning for Sustainability and the Rights of the Child. They canvassed their electorate and presented their manifesto speeches to the class.\u00a0 A democratic vote was held and a coalition party was formed with the B.E.A. and Panther parties.<\/p>\n
