• A fantastic Environment Week...

  Wed 19 Jun 2013
  Well done to all the staff and children for a brilliant Environment Week 2013. We have all been very busy, learning about sustainability, eco-friendly houses, energy, green travel, solar power and recycling. We have also completed lots of great projects around the school grounds, decorating our stage area with large painted scenes and characters, working on our garden areas, and finishing building our recycled bottle greenhouse. We think our greenhouse looks superb, and we are really grateful to everyone who donated bottles towards our collection of several thousand that we needed to complete the project! Now we can really get growing! 

• Our bottle Greenhouse is here! And plenty of veg is growing in the garden...

   After everyone's fantastic efforts to collect thousands of plastic bottles, our greenhouse is finally in place. When the floor is finished, and some children have helped construct the door panel next week, the greenhouse will be ready for use.
  Have a look at our bottle greenhouse pictures in our Gallery here:

  Meanwhile, out in the veg plots, there are potatoes, peas, beans, cabbages, sprouts, onions, leeks and lettuces all growing nicely. It's now down to the House Teams to look after the plants, and keep them weeded and watered, and growing until harvest. Some of the lettuces are already ready, and will form part of our Environment Lunch on Thursday next week.
