Eco Day-Big Spring Clean

Boys and girls in the Eco Committee decided on the theme ‘Big Spring Clean’ for our Eco Day. In preparation for the day some pupils phoned local DIY stores to ask if they would donate some products to our school.

B&Q in Paisley kindly donated some planters, plants, soil, brushes, gloves and sandpaper. Mr McCrorie took some pupils on a trip to collect these items!

Once all of the planning had been done the big day arrived! We started the day with a House assembly. We learned all about the reasons behind being an Eco School and what we could do to help. We then has a House Quiz with an Eco theme. All of the houses earned lots of points!

Classes then took part in a litter pick and also had the chance to design an Eco Mascot which will become the school’s new mascot!

Boys and girls in the Eco Committee also worked really hard weeding, planting and tidying the gardens at the front of the school. They did a fantastic job!

We also had 11 AMAZING parent/grand-parent helpers who gave up their own time to help us! They worked tirelessly to paint the railings, weed the flower beds, weed the patio and paint the flower beds! The difference they have made is evident from the photos and we can’t thank them enough! The Eco Committee also made them their lunch to say thank you!
