Developing school grounds

On friday 28th May a group of people went over to charlston to take a group of toddlers over to our school for a picnic.it was for our health healthy relationships Everybody had to take in a teddy that the toddlers can play with. We sang songs for them and read books to them and we even did a puppet show. We also did a treausure hunt for them. They had to find as many teddys as possible. We also gave them biscuits and water. We gave them a tour of our garden. We took two in the greenhouse at a time and showed them the potatoes and the other plants we planted. We also got our picture with them.   By William

Primary 6 has done a lots of work in the garden. We have planted lots of veg  like carrots ,cabbage, runner beans, lettuce, raddish and lots more. The flowers we have planted are sunflowers. We are growing them for Malawi.The  green house is finished now the janitor helped us build it. It is made out of old bottles we are not using.   Some of  the bottles we kept to water the potatoes. We used the bottles for watering plants out side.The garden is going on so well and I don’t want to stop doing it. 1st of June Tuesday 2010 By Demi And David

On Saturday 8th of May some adults,parents,children and teachers came and helped with everything that was there to do. People were painting the Primary 6 garden fence Red and we almost got all of the fence painted. All the little ones that came to the Ground Force Day were to do the litter picking and we started making our bottle greenhouse. We had to wash the  2000 bottles before we made the greenhouse. But before that we had to get the bottles cut around the bottom of them. Then we put them around bamboo canes and stuck them to the greenhouse to make the walls of the greenhouse. Then we painted the benches blue and red and the sheds green. The left over grass from the garden we used it for the mud patches on the football pitch. One of the parents made us a tree seat. We planted some shrubs for the year of biodiversity to start our woodland trail. By Callum Maclean and William Robertson P.6

On  Friday 30th April we did our first planting session. It was really good because everyone took part and no one was messing around. We planted lots of stuff like runner beans,sun flowers,carrots,cabbage,spring  onions, and lots more.

   We all enjoyed planting in the garden it was good to discover new seeds and plants it was fun too.We had lots of help from the janitor and  Mrs  Keiro Kirk. The garden looks pretty good now.

    We are all looking forward to the Ground Force Day on the 8th of may  so we can get our green house built.

We’ve done a lot of work to the garden and we’ve done a lot of planting in some pots. We have put up the frame of the green house so we can build it. We will do this on our ground force day on 8th May. Then it will be ready for the plants to grow. The flowers are growing fast,  so soon we will be able to plant them in the garden. The Birdhouse has attracted a lot of birds and soon we’ll need to get more food for the birds. P6 is enjoying doing the garden as a project.  The raised beds will  soon be filled with different kinds of flowers. We had to plant some healthy Vegetables. We can’t wait to eat all the vegetables.

For the last few weeks there has been a swiss teacher in our class. He is very nice and his name is Mr Wirthlin. He helped us decorate the classroom and now its looking great! Unfortunatly he’s gone back to switzerland now but hopefully he will come back to visit.
