Learning for Sustainability is woven into our daily practice and is something we value deeply as part of our ethos.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, we began developing our very own <strong>allotment<\/strong>, with staff and children working together to create a space where we could grow crops, explore nature and learn through hands\u2011on experiences. Thanks to the <strong>Food for Thought Grant<\/strong>, we were able to expand this project and offer even more opportunities for children to plant, nurture, harvest and taste their own produce.<\/p>\n<p>Sustainability at Glenburn goes beyond growing food. We take part in <strong>regular litter picks<\/strong> in our local community, and our children take great pride in helping keep Hallglen clean and cared for. These activities support responsibility, teamwork and environmental awareness from an early age.<\/p>\n<p>We are also incredibly proud to share that <strong>Glenburn ELC has achieved the Green Flag Award<\/strong>, celebrating our ongoing commitment to eco\u2011friendly practice, outdoor learning and engaging children in caring for their environment.<\/p>\n<p>To share our journey, photos and achievements with you in more detail, we have included a <strong>Sway presentation<\/strong> on this page. We would love for our families to take the time to look through it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><iframe width='760px' height='500px'  src='https:\/\/sway.cloud.microsoft\/s\/GKWOeD97RVY2YMjc\/embed'  frameborder='0' marginheight='0' marginwidth='0' max-width='100%' sandbox='allow-forms allow-modals allow-orientation-lock allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts' scrolling='no' style='border: none; max-width: 100%; max-height: 100vh' allowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"builder-section-text_25\" class=\"builder-section-prev-panels builder-section builder-section-text builder-section-last builder-text-columns-3 layout-4-8\" style=\"background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: center center;\">\n<div class=\"builder-section-content\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-row\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-1\" id=\"builder-section-text_25-column-1\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/glenburnelcc\/learning-for-sustainability\/img_6409\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-350\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt alignnone size-medium wp-image-350\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/02\/16153717\/IMG_6409-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/02\/16153717\/IMG_6409-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/02\/16153717\/IMG_6409-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/02\/16153717\/IMG_6409-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/02\/16153717\/IMG_6409.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-2\" id=\"builder-section-text_25-column-2\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/glenburnelcc\/learning-for-sustainability\/yfokw-uzl8q9i\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-351\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt alignnone size-medium wp-image-351\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/02\/16154018\/yFOKw-Uzl8Q9i-300x192.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/02\/16154018\/yFOKw-Uzl8Q9i-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/02\/16154018\/yFOKw-Uzl8Q9i-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/02\/16154018\/yFOKw-Uzl8Q9i-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/02\/16154018\/yFOKw-Uzl8Q9i.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"builder-text-column builder-text-column-3\" id=\"builder-section-text_25-column-3\">\n<div class=\"builder-text-content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/glenburnelcc\/learning-for-sustainability\/screenshot-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-418\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt size-medium wp-image-418 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/03\/05120248\/LFS-300x264.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"264\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/03\/05120248\/LFS-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/03\/05120248\/LFS-768x676.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fa\/public\/glenburnelcc\/uploads\/sites\/3550\/2026\/03\/05120248\/LFS.jpg 918w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning for Sustainability at Glenburn ELC At Glenburn ELC, we pride ourselves on learning for sustainability, where children learn to respect the environment, care for their community and appreciate the natural world around them.
