Our Greenhouse Our Greenhouse is made from recycled bottles. We will grow all kind of fruit and vegetables. The children of Beacon Rise built the greenhouse with the help of some parents and Barrie, our caretaker.

Compost Bins Nursery, Year 1 and Year 2 all have fruit. This is why we need compost bins so we can recycle all our fruit and vegetables.

We have raised beds for growing flowers and vegetables.

Fruit, Vegetables and Plants We Grow! We grow tomatoes, strawberries, cucumbers and courgettes. We also sell most of our food.

No Weeds This is a bed which we have layered with paper to recycle and stop weeds from growing. We will plant over the newspaper.

We have a great Conservation Area now with a wildlife pond.

Pond In the Conservation Area we have a pond to attract lots of wildlife such as: frogs, tadpoles, toads and pond skaters.

We made bird feeders and minibeast homes to encourage wildlife in the conservation area.

Birds We have lots of birds on the school field; Jays, Robins, Magpies, Ravens, Blackbirds and Sparrows.

Our Seating Area. This is our seating area we have two of them. We love to work outside in the fresh air.

We have made great changes to our play areas. A woodland area has been created with logs and bark.

Chickens We have two pet chickens in our school they are called Salt (the white one) and Pepper (the grey one). In the spring we hope they will lay eggs for us.

Our Trees We have planted trees. When they are bigger they will be shared around the local community.

Litter Picking To keep the school clean we collect all the litter that is on the ground. We use a litter picker to pick up all the rubbish.

This is our Eco School Display.
