Submitting our results
Today we submitted our results to the RSPB for the Big Schools Bird Watch. We went online and we used the Smartboard to enter our results. After we had inputed our results we compared our results with the rest of Scotland and the UK using the 2011 info.
Jennifer – I enjoyed watching the birds visit our garden
Donald – I didn’t think we would have that many birds visit our garden
Shannah – It was interesting to see how many birds we had compared to other places
Kai – I can’t beleive we saw so many birds in our garden
Amy – It was hooching out there! I don’t think I have ever seen that many birds in the garden
Joe – It was so busy out there it was like a McDonald’s for birds!
Calum – I didn’t think we were going to see that many birds
Environmental Review
Today the Green Beans carried out a series of environment reviews on subjects like health and well being, waste minimization, biodiversity, school grounds and energy and many more. These will help us in planning our next steps this year and also in working towards our 2nd Green Flag.
Jennifer – It was a fun activity and made us think about all the things we do in school
Angus – It was sometimes quite confusing because the questions were a bit tricky
Donald – The questions were challenging and it certainly made us think
Amy- Some of the reviews made us think about how good our school really is

Gardening in the drizzle!
Today the Green Team went out to the garden to plant courgettes. Firstly we put the soil in the plant pots then we made some holes for the plants to go in and lastly we put the plants in the pots. We planted nine courgettes and each of us will take them home for summer.
Garden upkeep
Today the eco group are going to be working on some of the work required in the school garden. Litter patrols, willow tidy, apple harvest and harvesting the remaining veggies from the garden.
Hopefully we can bag up as many of the cooking apples as possible and have them available to family and friends of the school to take home and use.
If we have time we will also finish our signs from last week and have them displayed around the school.
Digging the veggies
Today it has been glorious in the Forgandenny School garden. Everyone has played their part in picking broad and runner beans and digging up the Red Rooster Potatoes. We are going to send the harvest to Mrs Little (our wonderful school cook) and she will whisk up some delicious school lunches. Each of the Eco team are also bringing home a sample of the school veggies.
