Green Flag

Eco Schools Green Flag

Well at last we have our Green Flag on display. The Green Flag symbolises a lot of hard work by a lot of people to make our school a more sustainable place. It is of course only the start of the journey with lots of new challenges and projects ahead. We can only take inspiration from Water Leys Primary school (one of our feeder schools) who became one of a handful of schools to be awarded their fourth flag and had their celebration Assembly last week. Congratulations to them.

Gardening Club

Today we continued the task of clearing the allotment ready for the winter. The runner beans are still producing and we found a few more carrots today but that is about it. We got around to picking the sweetcorn today, it has been disappointing due to the poor weather and us being late in planting out, at least there are a number of happy rabbits and hens in Wigston tonight. We also divided out the onions among the garden clubbers. We hope to run gardening club up to half term and then we will have a break for the winter. Eco club are to take on the task of clearing out the pond and joining in the Big Tidy Up which has had to be rescheduled due to the closure of the school on the original date. More on that soon.

Tree Nursery

The finishing touches are just being made to the raised beds that will form the tree nursery which is being developed with support from the Earth Resoration Service. Pictures and more details will follow soon.

Bats about Bats

Today Mr. Pratt led a lunchtime session about bats. We went outside to find some good spots to put bat boxes. Thanks to the 30+ pupils who came along today for all your suggestions, we will meet again soon and hopefully get the bat boxes in place. If you missed todays meeting remember eco club meets on Friday and there will also be a meeting to decide where to put over 20 bird boxes!
