DIGGers meet on Wednesday and Thursday lunchtimes - we aim to grow our own fruit and veg and have fun eating it! We also raise money for charity each year through a growing competition and give our primary schools a competition to try and win the "Lewis MacKenzie Trophy" (see bottom of page for a list of winners and fundraisers).

Strawberries planted
Another busy week has passed. After starting the sunflower competition last Wednesday, we planted up the two barrels at the front of the school on Friday. They needed to look good for the Awards Ceremony this week! The grass was also mown which was a blessing as it was getting quite wild! On Wednesday 16th June we planted out the strawberries at long last into a tall tub. We also tasted our first peas - they were very sweet! On Thursday, Josh Craig (S5) helped Miss Swallow to construct a raised bed for the Food Technology department. It's situated behind the canteen. We will plant it up with herbs in future so that classes can pick them for cooking with. On Friday 18th June, we added more compost into the potato bags and also appeared in the North Star encouraging the public to enter the sunflower competition! Some first years also visited classes to let people make guesses and we raised £13 already towards the "goat fund!" So keep guessing people!
