For the last few weeks we have been trying relay hard to get our eco flag. Out in the garden we have been litter picking. We wrote lunes on the garden slabs. Me and my partner did our lunes on a really big slab. I wrote mine in different colours and after that I decorated some slabs. Mr Johnston took lots of pictures of us. The day after we wrote our lunes we got the eco flag! Here is my lune The power flower Makes me want a shower Under a tower Lee

How does our Garden go is a new picture gallery at Sandaig. Each day one primary six goes to the Sandaig Garden and takes a few photos. They choose one to post to the How does our Garden go gallery. Hopefully this will let visitors to our site see how the garden changes through the season and it will also let the children experiment with photography. You can leave comments on the photo and let the children know what you think.

P6s/j has just started the eco ninjas and every day another random person is picked for a mission involving stealth, quietness and real brilliant amazing ninjaness! The best ninja is ………. We have no clue its only been two days. Every day a ninja will use his or hers ninjaness to walk into a class room wasting energy and STRIKE! Or you can say they just stick a star on the button to turn the thing off. We made posters to warn the school of the NINJAS! See our Eco Ninja posters. Brandon

On Friday me and Natasha took some pictures of a discussion about an assembly we would have on Friday 2nd May to tell the school what had happened to the school garden and we needed to think of scripts and slogans for it. Here is an example of one of the slogans: be a good sport and throw out and recycle that rubbish fort. It was fun and it was interesting to listen to other ideas. brandon

Hi this is Chelsea and I am going to tell you about the work being done on the Garden. The garden looked a mess before, as you can see below. However the kind people from Glasgow City Council Land Services Helped Clean it up and this is what itlooks like now! But it wasn't only the workmen that did the work. The Primary 1's helped plant seeds in the pots and they have already started growing! The workmen worked very hard through all the bad weather and we would like to give a big Sandaig THANK YOU! To them.

The Eco school committee this week Me someone from p6t and 3 other people went into the Sandaig garden to take photos and do some litter picking. I and the other 4 people were so surprised at how much litter there was and how a half hours work could make so much change. We hope we can get the garden better. brandon

Yesterday we had a play called “what we did when the oil ran out.” It was about a family that had lots of bills to pay like Gas, water and electricity. Then they heard on the news that there was soon going to be no gas, electricity and no water. Then two children said that they were going to school but they were actually going to try and get some gas, some electricity and some water. But they did not mange to get any. Then they went home, and told there mum were they went and what they had been doing. At the end of the play one boy from the eco comity went up on the stage and told everyone want our school do to help the plant. He said: at sandaig primary we pledge to help the environment by recycling plastic bottles, paper and plastic bags. Jodie and Steven.
