Falkland Primary is a designated “eco-friendly” school and, with the co-operation of the head teacher and staff, over 100 pupils make regular visits to our site. As part of their school project on Living Things, P5 pupils planted thousands of Alder, Ash and Silver Birch seeds in the hope that young trees can be planted out around Falkland in the years ahead.
During the summer term, the P7 pupils take over lessons when they began their project on Plants for Wildlife. As “Buddies” to P1 pupils, the older children accompanied these younger protégés for the last few visits in the summer term to introduce them to the pleasures of growing things. Pupils work in conjunction with George Kemp who structures the lessons and provides excellent hands on experience and horticultural knowledge.
