Hi all,

I am so pleased for all the pupils involved with today - you were an absolute credit to the school, yourselves and you parents.  Well done!!!
Also we were so pleased to celebrate the opening of the garden with so many important people -

David Mc Clarty MLA
John Dallat MLA
Awards for All Programme Manager
Jim Allen - Coleraine Borough Council Environment Officer
Parents (who were one of the most important guests)

etc

I know all the pupils loved that your garden was so well received.  I really is something to be proud of .  I want to thank everyone for all the hard work that has been put in in the last few weeks in particular.  The power of teamwork is amazing!!!  Well done!
I just want to thank RACHEL, NAOMI, ROISIN AND MEGAN in particular for the gift of the scrapbook that you made for me.  You must have put in so much time and effort into this.  I will treasure this.  I wanted to share your poem with everyone as it is so funny (I hope you don't mind!)


Mrs Toman's Garden

Mrs Toman would dig and sow
till she made a little garden

And Roisin kept splashing
in Mrs Toman's garden

Of Rachel's there were two
and they had plenty to do
in Mrs Toman's garden

And Becky kept everything watery
in Mrs Toman's garden

Then there's Louise whose smile kept everyone pleased
In Mrs Toman's garden

And Shea made it most days
In Mrs Toman's garden

And for Courtney there were the bees
In Mrs Toman's garden

And Chloe tended leaves
In Mrs Toman's garden

And Aaron weeded onions
In Mrs Toman's garden

And Ellen always had a hand to lend
In Mrs Toman's garden

And Lucie was always busy
In Mrs Toman's Garden

And from Carl there was never a snarl
In Mrs Toman's garden

And that Katy one loved a good scallion
In Mrs Toman's garden


And Ben his advice has no end
In Mrs Toman's garden


And Megan put cuttings in
In Mrs Toman's garden


And Naomi did everything happily
In Mrs Toman's garden

But Mrs Toman let them go
And they all sat down to their toast in a row
In Mrs Toman's garden




I loved this poem!!  You are all so creative!!!

I will put some other photos on of the launch when I get them  - I didn't get time to take any photos today but I will get some and publish when I do.

These are some photos of Conor Mc Clelland in front of the ECO GREENHOUSE he designed.  He is a star!

This is all for now.
