Today 38 of us went outside, some to work on the allotment, some to do composting and some to look at the site for the proposed meadow and outdoor classrooms. Before that we took our newly awarded Green Flag out to take a photo and here it is! All we need now is a flagpole.

Things are moving on in the allotment as the manure has now been dug in. The first plants have been put out and are already doing well. Unfortunately today is too wet for Eco Club to carry on planting out so that will now wait until next week.
Special thanks must go to the ASDAN group who have made a herb planter and have now planted it out. It looks great!
In Eco Club we went outside to do a number of jobs. First was the dead heading of the bulbs left over from last week, next was some weeding and preparing a bed for the sunflowers. Then there was stone picking in preparation for the wildflower meadow, watering and composting to do. In fact we were so busy that there was no time for any photos to share with you! Next week will be even busier but more on that later.
Yesterday we were visited by the Eco Schools assessor to see if we had done enough to get a Green Flag award. The Action Team and representatives of the Eco Club met with the assessor as did many of the staff involved with our various Eco Projects. We won’t know the outcome until we get a letter from Eco Schools -but we think she was impressed 
This Friday we hope to do a bit more planting in the allotment and finish deadheading the Daffodils after we got rained off last Friday. Next Tuesday there will be a chance to do some serious gardening after school. See Mr. Batchelor for details.
