On September 10th Lesley Weston, an assessor from Keep Scotland Beautiful, came to the school to assess us for our Eco – School award.  Groups of children gave presentations to her during the course of the afternoon.  The next day she phoned to tell us we had been awarded our first green flag.
Here are some of the comments she made in her letter;
‘I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the school, especially meeting with and talking to the very knowledgeable and enthusiastic pupils and being shown around the school and grounds. ‘
‘It was great to taste the delicious bean soup at the end of my visit and hear how pupils had planted, grown, harvested and then cooked the healthy soup.’
‘Pupils were highly engaged active learners and talked animatedly about exploring, playing, learning and developing the outdoor areas.  It was clear how involved children and parents had been in developing and creating your beautiful grounds…’
Here are the pictures of us opening the evelope with our green flag inside.  All we need now is a flag pole.  Anyone got one lying about their garden?
