Farewell all "R U Up 4 It?" Schools

Norman and Toni with the pupils that came to Dingwall Academy and helped us celebrate all that was such fun about the R U Up 4 It? project.

 

The flowers were lovely! 

We hope you all go from strength to strength.

Thank you making the project such a success.

Dingwall Academy Spring Fair - a real success

                                   Highlife Highland made scrumptious smoothies on a bike. (Spot the compost caddy? Any waste they produced went into the school Ridan)

The DiGGers and Go Green groups sold plants, seeds and seedlings and gave lots of advice to other growers at the Fair. Danielle's tomoto seedlings were very popular. Thanks Danielle. Well done Sara for inviting donations from Frank Nicol and Lidl, well done Connorhan for running the "guess the weight of the tattie sack" competition. Your great team work made this a fantastic success.

Conon Brownies celebrate being awarded their Environment Badge

As part of their award the girls researched threats to Blue Whales, learned a lot about recycling and sowed some flower and vegetable seeds. 

It was fun meeting the girls and joining in with their activities - thanks for having me! Toni

What a way to celebrate - well done everyone

Here are a few photos of the fantastic morning we had a Dingwall Academy last week. This event is a fitting end to the RoWAN "R U Up 4 It?" three-year project 

 which was funded the The Climate Challenge Fund. We are confident the good work the schools are doing will go from strength to strength and the sharing of ideas will continue.

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to share how much hard work you've done, and the fun you've been having while being part of "R U Up 4 It?" and the 

"Growing Award". 

A special moment for me was presenting Amal from St Clements with the first ever  GROWING AWARD certificate. 

Well done Amal, Luke and Wiktoria who all have their Level One (Bronze) awards.

The schools that presented so well on such a range of topics were:

BEN WYVIS PRIMARY SCHOOL - Going for the Green Flag and waste-free lunches

HILTON PRIMARY SCHOOL - making the most of  their fabulous school grounds (I loved the music that went with your presentation!)

MUIRTOWN PRIMARY SCHOOL -
food waste reduction and the R U Up 4 It? project

DINGWALL ACADEMY - DiGGERs garden club and The Certificate in Practical Horticulture

DINGWALL PRIMARY SCHOOL - "Mission Compostable"

GRANTOWN GRAMMAR - Getting Going

ST CLEMENTS SCHOOL -
their sensory version of the Growing Award and an amazing compost song

TARRADALE PRIMARY SCHOOL - looking at sugar in popular drinks

You were all marvellous! Thanks again.
