Green Schools - Water Usage Survey

We are currently working towards achieving out Water flag for green schools. Our green schools coordinator team and Ms. Nuzum have compiled a survey on water usage in the home. It would only take less than a minute to complete as it’s a google doc. We would be very grateful if you could complete the survey and press submit before Friday 17th March

Thank You

Lots of activity in our new vegetable garden!!!!

Since our return to school we our very lucky and have just started a beautiful new vegetable garden with new bedding areas. Our senior room have been very busy planting with Doloras. All our lovely vegetables are growing away and are already looking good enough to eat. We have a mixture of carrots, onions, lettuce and herbs. Our pupils are looking after them very well as you can see.

Our junior room have also been very busy little bees and have been planting sunflower seeds. They also have lots of vegetables and herbs that have started in cups and are now ready to move to our bedding trays when Mr Sunshine decides to come back to us.

Have a look at everyone’s hard work!
