One of our current Eco topics is Healthy Living; our pupils enjoy opportunities to grow their own fruit and vegetables. Before Christmas our school Eco club planted garlic and white onion bulbs in our vegetable garden. It is very exciting to see the shoots coming through. We also have lots of herbs growing and strawberry, blueberry and rhubarb plants which are dormant in the Winter months. We are part of the Ards and North Down Council’s Growing Club scheme, they are planning to come and run some sessions with the pupils to plan what to grow in our polytunnel this Spring.
