Today the Green Beans did a variety of jobs in the garden. These were

  • washing the water  tray for P1-2 ready for use after winter
  • planted some new bulbs at the front of the school to make it look better
  • we tidied and swept up an area of the garden to make it look better for P1-2 to use in their outdoor learning
  • we made sure that all the bird feeders were filled up with seeds and nuts

Next week we are going to call Eco Schools Scotland to find out about our 2nd Green Flag.  We are also going to think about what veggies we should plant for growing this year.

Environmental Review

Leave a comment

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

Our Eco Song

There is an eco group in Forgandenny

Recycling things…O so many

Getting Green Flags is their game

All from Forgandenny, denny, denny, denny

We’re the Green Beans from Forgandenny

Feeding birds….O so many

Planting, Gardening, Feeding, Watering

All from Forgandenny, denny, denny, denny

There were some people who were so naughty

Dropped Litter on the ground making it dirty

The Green Beans picked it up quickly

And popped it in the bin again begin again

Saving wildlife they love to do

Caring for bugs and beasties too

Getting Green Flags is their game
