Well done to the children for taking part at the award ceremony at Tesco Craigmarloch.

Hopefully won’t be long until we get the work started on our new Eco Garden.

We have been planting wild flower seeds along the fence where it is muddy and nothing much grows there. It was very slippy work (wasn’t it Sophie!)

Callum Curtis from our nursery came along to give us a helping hand.

So far we have planted potatoes, broccoli, carrots and strawberries.

We just need some sun now to make them grow.

Well done to Cody, Josh and Gabby for getting rid of all those weeds.

Well done to everyone who went to Tesco on Friday to take part in a photo shoot for our award. Look out for the photo in this weeks Cumbernauld News.

Erin, Ruby, Jack, Sophie and Ray you were amazing and were complimented by everyone you spoke to. I will post the photos as soon as I get them.

If you look at the front of the school now you will see the fantastic work the P6’s have done. What a transformation!

Everything you planted has grown and Euan’s tiny friends have a more exciting place to live – well done.

Fantastic News!!!

We have been awarded the highest grant in the Tesco Bags of Help campaign. Thank you to everyone who voted for us. Now we will be able to create an Eco garden at the back of the playground.

We can’t wait to get started.Playground Plan

Click on the link to see our amazing plan, drawn up for us by Fiona Buttenshaw at”Glen Rosa Designs”.

Tesco has teamed up with Greenspace Scotland to launch its Bags of Help initiative across Scotland. The scheme will see three community groups and projects awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge.

Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco’s regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the 5p charge levied on single-use carrier bags.

The public will now vote in store from 27 February until 6 March on who should receive the £12,000, 10,000 and £8,000 awards.

We will keep you updated here and on our school twitter account! @eastfieldschool

Rain, rain, go away.

Come again another day.      Not on a gardening club day!!!!!

The rain didn’t stop us from going out today to plant our shrubs that the Woodland Trust had sent us. Even though it was wet we did a great job and also planted some bulbs for spring.

Mrs Gillan wasn’t taking any chances of getting wet 🙂

 We’ve never seen such a big puddle on the pitch before!

We harvested the vegetables from the garden.

We have never seen carrots like these before. Last years P5’s must have had green fingers!!!!

Rhona thought her carrot looked like a pair of jogging bottoms 🙂

Hope you are all coming up with good ideas for our design a logo competition.

The Green Team at the Westerwood Hotel will pick the winners and put the winning design onto their stationery.

They are also going to invite the finalists to join them for lunch at the hotel and give them a guided tour. Good luck with your designs. Remember to hand them to your class teacher by Friday 13th November.
