Our Eco Team, supported by our P6 class, have been exceptionally busy over the last few weeks beginning with reaching out to our wider school community to donate any books they wished to have a second life. The response from families was more than they originally could have hoped for which set the scene for a very successful Recycled Book Fair over two days. The Eco Team wish to thank Mr Shields, the P6 pupils and everyone who donated or bought books. A lot of work went into the organising of this initiative but our Eco Team were certainly up to the challenge.
