Bird Feeders

A group made bird feeders to hang up at Fa’side Lodge in Tranent. The group went to the local shops to get the materials and put them together at school before taking them along. Hopefully these will attract all sorts of birds!

Some P6 pupils have been learning about Biodiversity. We took our mini microscope and went to see what was living in our log pile. We found worms and some very fast spiders – everything was very keen to escape! Looking forward to seeing what comes out as the weather gets warmer.

SWPS will be Blooming Beautiful this Spring!

The eco committee helped dig out the letters for the SWPS logo and started the planting of the bulbs. Other groups from different classes continued with the planting as the letters needed loads of bulbs to fill them in. We look forward to seeing the results this spring!

On Friday, 11th of November part of the Eco Committee took a trip to Dobbies Garden Centre in Lasswade to collect some bulbs that they kindly donated to our school. We are going to use the bulbs to plant the letters SWPS in our school grounds. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the trip!

Today was a very special day for us at Sanderson’s Wynd. We have earned our second Green Flag through lots of hard work that has involved the whole school. This morning we held a ceremony to raise our new flag. Well done to everyone in the school and community who has helped us achieve this goal!

In March p7 started putting plants in the veg plot with a lady called Barbara, from Roots and Fruits. They planted strawberries and a few leeks in the veg garden and we think they had a lot of fun and they are looking after their plants very well.
