S1 pupils design us posters.

On Wednesday this week, we met indoors and looked through lots of first year Art books. Pupils have been drawing posters for our greenhouse. Above are the designs we chose to scan and print. We have invited Mr MacKenzie to visit next week to help sow the first seeds of the year. We will put up the posters, naming the greenhouse in memory of his late wife Betty.
Pupils were on holiday last week, but Miss Swallow managed some tidying and weeding. Today, Lewis and Charlotte brought more gravel into the garden to keep the weeds down in front of the greenhouse.
They were full of energy - dashing back to fetch more!

Meanwhile, Miss Swallow continued weeding - you can see the beds still to do!! Catriona was not in today - hope you feel better soon and get back to school as we missed you! Oh yes, and we spotted our first flowers today - wild ones! They are a lovely blue crocus, and small bunch of snowdrops, near the fence, next to the compost heaps.

We would also like to thank Garry, an S6 pupil who has volunteered to bring out the canteen and Food Technology department waste for the compost twice a week - every little bit helps us! We hope you enjoy the changes you see in the garden as the Spring progresses.
