Pupils worked really hard to clear the poly-tunnel classroom of all our paraphernalia!
They carried chairs across...
...and set them out for the guests.
Everyone was very excited!
We also tidied the main poly-tunnel tables ready for soup and sandwiches to be served. Pupils had made the soup with Mrs Adamson and kept it in the freezer - potato and broad bean, carrot and corriander - all from our own produce. So a huge thank you to the cooking team!
We also laid out folders of work for our Jim and Colin to see.
All the pupils welcomed Jim and Colin at the door and escorted them to the garden area.
They chatted as they walked...
...and gave Jim a full tour of all our planting and composting areas.
They thought the raspberries were delicious!
Once parents and carers arrived, the seniors served soup and sandwiches for all to enjoy.
Dr Richardson's class had a good discussion around trees and climate change...
...then it was time for the ceremony. Miss Swallow welcomed all those assembled and spoke about the course and a little about seeds! Mrs Buchan awarded the ASDAN certificate, then Jim McColl gave a talk and awarded the Grow and Learn Certificates.
Each pupil also got a pin badge to wear with pride!
Thank you to all those who came to the ceremony and also to those who help so often behind the scenes - your efforts are much appreciated and make such lovely occasions possible!
