Biodiversity @ Borestone

Borestone Primary School have had a busy two ‘biodiversity’ weeks. Primary 5 conducted a study to find out exactly what has been going on!

They discovered that some pupils have been creating bug hotels to keep wildlife safe. Others have been finding out how to encourage bees, birds and butterflies to come to our garden. There have been a lot of plants, herb and trees planted around the school. After learning how to prepare land to grow potatoes P7 have successfully created Borestone’s first potato field. Now we need to wait and see if our hard work pays off!

A Safe View of the Eclipse

The pupils from Borestone know that it is dangerous to look at the sun directly so they got creative! They kept their eyesight safe during the Solar Eclipse by making and using pinhole viewers. The children were excited to see this natural rare phenomenon. David from P4/5 exclaimed “I was happy to see my first solar eclipse.”
