Up-cycling competition work praised
Our Eco Committee entered an Up-Cycling competition run by The Pod, where three groups designed and built objects for the school’s garden by up-cycling garden tools or materials.
Year 3 group members built a raised bed and bird bath from the top half of a water butt which now has sweet peas growing in the bottom section, while Year 5 designed a Minion made from part of a compost bin, black hosing, wellington boots, gardening gloves and drain connectors.
Their design has become the new home for Rydal Penrhos’ lavender plant.
Year 6 pupils associated with the committee designed a decorative dragon fly, which was made from a wooden plank, wellington boots, garden pots, garden wire and garden netting.
The superb product will soon be on display in the school garden.
Mrs Woodthorpe, said: “All of the children worked extremely hard in designing and building their entries, and thanks to Paul in Maintenance for his help and expertise with the more complicated dragon fly project."
