ECO News

Next Eco Meeting - Tuesday 7th February at 5-6pm
Pond - We now have a pond situated in our Eco-garden which was designed and built by Angus Egan 'Earth Calling'! Angus works for Edinburgh Council and helps Nurseries, Primary & Secondary Schools develop their Eco-gardens in and around their premises. Angus will be visiting us again in March to put in some pond shrubs & plants which will encourage the natural growth of Pond-Life!! This is very exciting as the children will learn about the life cycle of the frog and be able to see other insects using a magnifying glass, microscope and binoculars.
Recycling - The children throughout the nursery are aware of the importance of recycling and the children's Eco-committee are enjoying collecting the recycling every Tuesday to then be picked up be Edinburgh Council on a Wednesday morning. The children will weigh the bags and record & monitor the amount of waste recycled each week.

Thank you to everyone who helped with the Christmas Shoe Box Appeal, donating old shoes and clothes for the Rag Bag Appeal.
