We have a new date for Orchard Day!
Make a note in your diaries – Wednesday 20th February – that’s when Fruitful schools are planning to bring their team with support from News International who sponsored the Orchard Offer.  Mrs Hull’s going to try and book some dry weather for that week…
Any parents or friends who would like to help would be very welcome. Contact the school office and we’ll get in touch with details.
On Friday 14th December Primary 2 and 3 were well wrapped up in the cold and frost to work with our friends from the Oatridge campus of Scotland’s Rural College. They planted tree seedlings from the Woodland trust around the perimeter fence at the SUDS pond area of the school grounds. These little plants will grow in to rose, hawthorn, dogwood and holly hedges and encourage lots of different wildlife into the nature area at the pond. One special seedling was not planted – a Royal Oak, grown from seed collected from one of the royal household estates. This will be given a special position closer to the school, as part of the Jubilee Wood project.
The planting of our orchard has been postponed until the New Year, in the hope that we will have better weather.
We will still be planting the tree seedlings from the Woodland trust on Friday 14th as planned, with help from our friends at Oatridge. Thank you to all parents who offered help with the orchard – we will be in touch when the new date is announced.
