As part of our Green Schools project on Biodiversity, we planted various species of trees at the school. We were helped by students from the AVS who were here as part of their TY work experience.
The Infants went on a nature walkabout today to see what we could find around the school grounds.
The children of 3rd and 4th Classes did some Spring planting in our poly tunnel.
The children of 1st and 2nd Classes read a poem about life on earth and drew a picture of all the biodiversity in it.
We checked our compost today to see how we are getting on. With lots of Spring planting going on we need to be sure our compost is good!
1st & 2nd Classes were searching the playground for different types of birds.
Our new Bird Boxes were installed today. It will be great for the pupils to see the birds coming and going as they build their nests. Our thanks to Mrs McDaid, our Green Schools Co-Ordinator, for organising the boxes.
The Green Schools Committee were out today checking the bug hotel for storm damage.
They were also identifying suitable locations for new bird boxes and hanging baskets.
The pupils of 1st and 2nd Classes went on a nature walk today to see what species of birds they could find. They also visited our bug hotel to see if there were any new residents!
The children of 3rd and 4th Classes collected hollow plant stems, rocks, bricks, small branches, twigs, wood, pine cones, plant pots and leaves to make their bug hotel. Our thanks to Mr. McDermott’s father for helping us with our project!
The hotel is now open for business – cheap rates available!!
