Yell Aquaculture – Business Partners

We are very lucky to have some very enthusiastic and supportive business partners to help us with our project. We have been able to have a meeting where we all got together to plan visits to their workplaces and for them to visit us. We are able to use some of our grant to pay the transport costs for all the pupils of both schools to visit a local mussel farm and a well boat whose home port is on the island.

Tulliallan Sustainability Event

On Friday 8th November 2013, the Primary 7 class from Tulliallan Primary hosted a Sustainability Event to which they invited all classes and also parents and carers.

The event was an opportunity for the children to share their learning about Climate Change and sustainability.  Prior to the event, Primary 7 spent lots of time in class learning about the causes and impact of climate change.  They also worked with Primary 5 to learn more about Food Miles, the impact these have on the environment and about local, in-season produce.  This work was then developed further with P7 carrying out Maths activities to investigate the food miles of various recipes, sharing their learning with Primary 3 and then buddying up with Primary 3 to bake using local produce.

The end result was a Café area that served the food created by P3 and P7 and a trade show in the Primary 7 classroom to highlight the benefits of reusing food packaging waste.
