Eco-Rangers
Our Eco Rangers strive to make our school a more eco friendly environment by growing plants to help animals, and plants that we can enjoy.
The Eco Rangers are really passionate about transforming our school grounds to be not just eco friendly for animals, but also for us humans too.
We have just received an RHS grant to transform our grey areas to be green. The children have a really strong image of what they want from the area we wish to initially transform. Their plans include;
- Growing fruit and vegetables we can enjoy and sell to our local community
- Creating wild areas where bees, butterflies and other insects can thrive
- Growing flowers that we can cut and sell as little bouquets for family and friends of The Vale Primary Academy to enjoy. These can also maybe be dried for art and crafts
- A sensory areas where the aromas of plants can spike our senses
- A herb garden which we can dry and sell or use fresh in our homes and in the school kitchen
- A pond where wildlife can drink from and aquatic animals can thrive
