The Green Beans are collecting felt tips pens, normal pens and mechanicalpencil’s for Terracycle. Terracycle takes the pens and upcycles them into something useful like: Watering cans and waste paper bins.
Please help us out by sending your old pens, markers and highlighters and send them to the school.

So those are Forgandenny’s eco goals for 2013 lets hope we manage to do them all.
Here are some pictures of our garden in May 2012
Today we all went on a walk of the school to see what kind of plants, veggies and fruits were growing. First of all we went down to the bird hide to see what we could find. We first looked at the rhubarb that is growing down there. Then we saw some bluebells there were two different types of bluebells. Mr Donnachie asked us if we could find the difference with them but no one could. The difference was that one was Spanish and one was native. All the flowers on the native one went over to one side and the Spanish one the petals spread everywhere. We saw our two apple trees they have not got any apples on them yet. We found some wild garlic next to the seats at the stage.
We then went around to front of the school to see what was goring. There was a lot of herbs:
There was also some lavender there too.
Over all there is a lot of plants in the garden.
We did it! We have achieved Green Flag number 2. Yesterday evening Mr Donnachie received a call at school from the Eco Schools office given the good news. We will be getting two new flags to fly on our flag pole and hopefully they will arrive in the next couple of weeks.
Well done to everyone for all their hard work in Eco. More news to follow
