This year for our Biodiversity Action Day on Friday 24th February, the Green Schools Committee were delighted to have Natalija Cvetic come in, a devoted and committed gardener and a mother of a past Green Schools leader, who taught the committee and the 1st years how to make flower bombs.
A flower bomb is a small ball made up of a mixture of compost, clay and seeds. It was quite messy but a lot of fun and luckily we had the committee to help clean up so a big thanks to them!
Everyone in the school community will be making flower bombs next week, promoting a diverse biodiversity in our school atmosphere, as it attracts a variety of insects and animals, like butterflies and birds.
The flower bombs can be planted anywhere, if you live in an apartment or a house, the flowers only need a small space to grow. Later this week, the flower bombs will be planted in our school and people's homes.
This years action day is definitely a colourful one! Thanks to Davi for taking the photos. If you want to stay even more up-to-date check out our Instagram @greenschoolsstratford!
The 1st years completed a zombie lab today where they used their scientific methods and thinking to identify patient zero from the zombie suspects. Using measuring skills, pH, observation skills and much more they successfully identified the source of the outbreak!

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
