Eco 2023-24
Our ECO committee 2023-24
We have been learning about biodiversity.
We made Biodiversity minibooks for Book Week.
Our Sustainability Learning Café was well attended and the children lead the learning.
The school garden has continued to be a great success. The gardening group look after it very well and help to harvest the produce and collect seeds to grow plants the next again year. The Infants enjoy planting and caring for the seeds in the spring and the P7s enjoy using the produce cooking dishes in their classes.
Many classes have taken part in live lessons and activities in class for Climate Action week.
Our ECO committee chose to make outdoor grab-bags to encourage classes to take learning outside. They voted to call them ‘Busy Bee Bags’. The committee helped to make these bags and each class will be given one in the new year.
Eco 2022-23
We carried out an environmental review for the whole school and then chose two topics as well as Climate Action. We selected Biodiversity and School Grounds.
Our 2022-23 ECO committee
At a learning Café for the parents we showed how to make bird feeders and encouraged everyone to do this at home too.
We all got sunflower seeds to take home and plant. The flowers are beautiful but they also feed animals when they grow seeds.
Our gardening club helped to weed and prepare the raised beds ready to plant seeds and seedlings that the infants had been growing in class.
Every year at Maddiston we help raise awareness of Earth Hour in March.
Local Area Art Project
Mrs Quinn and Mrs Lacarrini organised a local art project and each stage in the school were given a local area theme. The canvases were created using lots of different collage materials and in the P7 canvas they have included a piece of work from every child that was used as the background for the school brickwork. These canvases are on display in the P1 and nursery area for everyone to see.
