The 2007 Otter Award Winners (for the 5-8 age group): Winmarleigh C.E. School, from Nr. Garstang, Preston
|
|
|
|
The after school gardening club created raised beds in which they planted fruit and vegetables. The flowers they grew attracted birds, bees and butterflies showing the link between wildlife and gardens . The children learned the names of the different plants and the effects of growing them in different conditions. They grew lettuces, beans, peas and potatoes and the children tasted them all. The project was well illustrated. The Judges thought that the children had worked as a very well-knit team and that much of what they have obviously learned here will be useful to them throughout their lives. |

| The school’s keen gardening club maintain the school’s Wildlife Area which is a real haven for wildlife, and has lots of wild plants. The pond has frogs that laid frogspawn, which turned into tadpoles, the stages observed by the children. They go pond dipping for science lessons when they look for minibeasts, and they are then drawn. The children visited “Wildlives” wildlife hospital, taking food for the animals, and met some of the animals, including 3 foxes. | ||
