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.
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
This week in the green beans we made up a eco song insted of an eco code!
The song goes to the tune of Michael Finnagin it and here it is!!
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
All from Forgandenny, denny, denny, denny
Today it is cold and damp at Forgandenny Primary. The Green team have been very busy doing a varierty of jobs.

We are planning to:
Today the eco group were picking apples in the outdoor stage area. They are not eating apples but are good for feeding horses and making delicious pies or jelly. We also dug up the remaining potatoes and harvested the last of the beans. Mrs Little has our potatoes again and will hopefully work her magic once more! All the eco group have some apples to take home and try.
They are all going to try and take a picture of them cooking or using the apples at home and bring it into school.
Esther – ‘ I didn’t realise how many apples there were just sitting there or falling down from the trees…there were heaps of them and can’t wait to try the pies I am going to make’
Chris – ‘ It was lots of hard work but at last it is done’
