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.

We discussed all the different things the children from other countries could do and whether these were linked to the climate the children lived in. Once we had shared our thinking we recorded our ideas in
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.
