Carmondean Harvest Festival 2025

Tesco stronger voting took place at the Highland show June 2024.

We received a whopping £1,000 grant towards our poly tunnel. The grant had taken place from September 2024 – September 2025 and was used to plant 2 large planters, a hose, a water butt, compost, seeds, gloves and a potting table.

All of our class Classes and lots of groups have been involved in the project with the Eco Committee. The Eco Warriors have brilliantly led the project.
Many things were planted including rhubarb, radishes, potatoes, lettuce, pumpkins, tomatoes, courgettes.
The project encouraged us to see where our food comes from, team work and working with mixed ages across the school.

This is the Tattie Tastic and other yummy recipes booklet which has very recently been released and has sadly all been sold out but also good that its been a successful to be helpful to our fundraiser.

Well done and a big thank you to two of our Eco Warriors from p6 who helped Mrs Muir build our potting table 🤩 It looks great in our poly tunnel and we can’t wait to use it later this week. 🥒🌱🍅🪴

Spring Clean

Well done to everyone at Carmondean for doing a huge litter pick today in our school grounds and in the surrounding area. Every class took part and we collected a lot of litter. This was part of the Spring Clean initiative! 🗑️🚮 Here are photos from P5A.

Eco – Tree Buddy Initiative

We were lucky to have some visitors today who helped teach us about climate change. Jim and James from Livingston Outlet Centre visited us as they needed our help! Did you know there are over 1000 workers at the centre? That is a lot of journeys to and from work and a lot of carbon emissions from cars. They have worked out that 100 trees need to be planted every year to offset this carbon emission. We helped them today by planting 5 Silver birch trees with the help from Jack who is a tree expert. We worked well in teams and know how to look after our new trees. We are all Eco Warriors! 🌳🌍🤩

Today the Eco Warriors worked hard to write letters to local companies requesting donations for loose parts for our outdoor learning. Fingers crossed we hear good news soon! 🤞

Eco Warriors update

We are so lucky to have our poly tunnel and be able to grow crops all year round. The eco committee have been busy planting some herbs and seeds today. We loved the different smells the herbs created in our poly tunnel! We planted beetroot and lettuce seeds which we will hopefully be able to use in some salads next year.
