Can you help us?

Cutting back the weeds. Planting some nice flowers, trees and bushes. Planting things that will

Sign and Waste Aware

Mr and Mrs Cooper brought a special present along to our recent meeting. They kindly donated a sign, made by Alan Morrison, for our eco garden. Mr Cooper has painted the letters black so that they stand out and given the sign plenty coats of varnish. We are looking forward to seeing it hanging on the new eco garden fence. We also had Fiona from Waste Aware Moray come along

Spring Clean

The early years Eco Group were delighted to spot some signs of Spring in our Eco Garden today. The bulbs we planted are starting to bloom and we saw the buds appearing on the trees. We worked together to give the garden a general tidy up. We also added sticks and stones to our bug hotel. We think our Eco Garden is starting to take shape. 🙂

Birds and Bugs

The early years Eco Group enjoyed hanging up the bird houses and feeders in the Eco Garden. The pupils also started to make bug houses from old pallets and wood. They also worked in small groups while completing the RSPB bird spot.

RSPB Visit

The Nursery to P3 Eco Group welcomed Morag from the RSPB to their recent community group meeting. She led us in a session called ‘Giving Nature a Home’. She helped us to assess our school grounds for areas that give nature a home and worked with us to identify how we can improve them.  

Planting

This week the Nursery to P3 Eco Group were planting bulbs with Anne, Geordie and Willie from Dufftown in Bloom. These will look lovely in our Eco Garden when they bloom in Spring. They also helped us to plant the apple tree that we wanted.

The pupils wanted to plant bushes and flowers that the beasties and birds would
