Some classroom activities - science and global citizenship


Dingwall PS science class making their compost timelines (or Rot Pots) re-using and recycling as they go. A fantastic chance to concoct compost cocktails! This activity is available on WRAP website 
A fine set of Rot Pots - the pupils will watch the contents decompose over the next few weeks and months. Dingwall PS staff have amongst the BEST compost we've seen!



Does our food really come from so far away? Tarradale PS pupils match our everyday fruit and veg from the local shop to the map of the World. They discovered that some of it could have come from much closer to home. RoWAN can do this activity with your class, or lend you the map. Just ask.
