Some of our wonderful P7s in P7D took up a challenge presented by Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful - a competition for primary schools to create a field sketch of their school grounds and write a story on biodiversity and sustainability, all based around the benefits of hedgerows in our environment.
The team (made up of Fraser, Laityn, Isabella, Lily and Milena in P7D) researched the benefits of hedgerows and decided on the best spot in our school for a new hedgerow, before putting their entry together. You can view their entry as attachments to this news post.
This week we received the news that we are one of eleven winning schools! Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful will be working with the entire class to plant a new hedgerow on our school grounds and run three workshops on local tree identification, habitats and bird identification.
We can't wait to take part!
