The Eco Team have been hard at work recently helping Mrs Sims create a school orchard.

Thanks you to the following pupils for helping plant the many trees:

Oliver Dunkley, Philip Parkinson, Umar Sakha, James Rosendale, Mat Harpley, Ben Welsh, Jake Livesley-Gosling, Ben Horton, Andrew Connell, Peter Earnshaw, Hannah Reef, Katie Armes, Ellie Earnshaw, Sarah Banks, Georgina Round, Beth Cuckson, Thomas Lynch, Chris Wilson, Rachael Lett, Olivia O'Brian, Megan Ray, Isabella Clarkson-Hesketh.

Ms Cox has been giving a helping hand, too, by clearing out the greenhouse to make space for the many new spring projects.

Thanks to a £1000 grant donated  by "Fruitful Schools" we have been able to purchase a bargain priced black metal arch and a variety of plants and fruit tree.  As the soil around BBEC isn't the best of quality we bought some good quality top soil, too.

So what are the plans?

Well, a number of strawberry plants will be planted outside Mr. Morris's office and each form will hopefully sponsor and look after a number of fruit trees in the orchard.

Keep checking in  to see photos of the improvements as they happen  and to receive updates on activities by the eco team.
