Construction of our outdoor eco-classroom has begun and we thought we would start by clearing part of the area and planting some trees as it was National Tree Planting week.

The trees to be planted in our eco-classroom were generously donated by one of the parents of a member of our science club. We have also assembled a composter that can be filled with all of the schools canteen compostable waste on a daily basis. Thus making the eco-classroom sustainable.

The tree planting event was held on remembrance day Wednesday, 11th November 2009 and parents, governors and the STEMNET regional co-ordinator were invited to help.

Hot fresh soup and home-made bread with herbs grown from our herb garden were served as refreshments.
