| Making rich, fertile compost is
always one of the things our school has done well. We have a
lovely playground with shady trees, attractive bushes and flowerbeds
grown in nourishing soil. We have a bin in the main lunch-eating
area of the playground and we regularly remind children from other classes
to put their food scraps in there instead of the other bins. All garden
waste is put back into the garden. |

|
| To encourage this idea even
more, we placed labelled ice cream buckets in our own classroom, which
was a long walk from the compost bin, the canteen and the
staffroom. Now the staff and parents are using these buckets and
we make sure we empty the foods craps into the right place every day. |

We have won
prizes in the Tidy Towns Competition in the past because of our
beautiful school grounds. Thanks to the efforts of Mrs
French, our compost is the best! |

that have been propagated in our wonderful compost. |
