Caring for the environment – Sunflower competition

To try to encourage the children to understand the importance of growing plants as food sources for bees, we asked the children in key stage 1 to take part in a sun flower competition. The competition was run by Luxfer. They offered prizes for the school who grew the most impressive sun flowers and individual prizes too. Dues to to effort form the families and children, we won. The school will receive a £250 gift card to spend on the school garden. We also had 3 individual winners. Anna won the prize for the largest sun flower, Leonie won the prize for the for the best-looking sun flower and Jessica won the prize for the biggest sun flower head. The girls all received a certificate and a £20 voucher to spend at Smyths Toys. Thank you to Miss Hutchinson for running the competition. Miss Stubbs is looking forward to working with the eco committee to decide what to spend the money on. Thanks to all the parents and children for supporting the competition.
