Our Natural Environment

We have successfully secured a partnership with a local property developer, Higher Grade Homes which will give us opportunities to source renewable materials which can help us positively impact our immediate natural environment.

Biodiversity

Our Eco Group have been discussing biodiversity and its importance to our environment. Click the link to find out a bit more on biodiversity and schools. Schools Biodiversity Poster

We have been able to obtain pallets from Higher Grade Homes which we aim to turn into bug hotels in the Nature Park behind our school.

Stay tuned for the Bug Khalifa, Buggingham Palace and the Premier Inn(sect).

 

Additionally we have been given a planter box from the property developer which will be used to increase the variety of flowers available in the playground. This will hopefully improve the variety of wildlife in our natural environment.

More to follow…

We have started to build our bug hotels, have a look at the progress.

Litter Poster Competition

Well done to Sophie in P7 who won Newmilns Primary’s entry to the Irvine Valley Litter campaign. Her poster will be blown up, alongside the other winners from other schools, and displayed on the billboard in the field from Tesco, Galston!

 

Here are some of the super entries that we had to choose from.

 

 

Recycling at Newmilns

We were fortunate enough to learn about recycling from the experts today at Newmilns. We learned about what should and shouldn’t be recycled and how the recycling process works.
