What a fantastic morning with Primary 5/6 at Logan Primary School for their Sundew Badge session! We kicked things off by diving into the incredible wildlife we’re lucky to have here in the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere celebrating just how special our local landscape really is.
The creativity then flowed as the class worked together to build a vibrant collage of our region, complete with rolling hills, wind turbines, woodlands and more. That masterpiece became the perfect springboard for a lively land-use debate. Pupils took on the roles of farmers, conservationists, community members, wind farm representatives and foresters, each pitching passionately to the “council” about why they deserved the land. The arguments were thoughtful, persuasive and impressively well balanced. It tied in perfectly to their current school topic which is farming.
We wrapped up by planting broad beans for the class to care for, a small but meaningful step towards understanding sustainability and the power of growing our own food. A morning full of creativity, big thinking and hands-on action. Well done P5/6! I'll be back to check on the broad beans and to do some more fun activities with them in a few weeks time.
