Teachers Comments
"..Our enthusiasm was not curtailed by the weather and we enjoyed planting the varieties of trees and hedgerow plants. All 5 classes were involved with P6/7 children doing the heavy digging. We went out armed with our fork, spades and trowels along with a metre stick for measuring distances between plantings. The younger children also enjoyed finding worms and caterpillars in the soil when digging with their trowels..... Thank you for sending us such a useful resource for our studies."
Headteacher, Whitecraig Primary School, East Lothian
