Hedgerow planting
Wed 31 Jan 2024On Friday P5/6C and P2N/A were busy planting 133 trees to make a new hedgerow near our adventure playground. P5/6C had won a competition with Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful, which is sponsored by Moy Park. It was a very exciting morning to learn a new skill of planting trees and the pupils loved working together to start our hedgerow, which is made up of hawthorn, holly, oak and crab apple trees. We are looking forward to seeing it grow and develop over the next few years.
