Brook monthly visit today.

Hi all,

We forgot to update the blog last week as we were so busy with attending the ECO-UNESCO Eco-Den  in Craigavon .  We had a great day and we hope we will be successful in getting through to the finals in Dublin.

The pupil presentation that was shown on the day is uploaded below and it explains a bit of what our project and club is all about.  This is photostory 3 movie.  We would recommend this Windows software as it is very easy to use and it is free the download.
We hope you enjoy it.

We also just wanted to update you on what we were up to today.  We were back at the Brook today and even though their was only 7 north coast representatives we got a lot done.  We actually felt that with the fewer numbers the elderly residents were more confortable and there was loads of interaction today.

These are the courgettes planted in their growbags in the greenhouse.

This is Margaret and Mrs Nutt who had a great day planting all the lettuces with Louise, Becky, and Sheena.

The onions are starting to come on - this photo is not very clear but the green bits are the onions.

The potatoes are not coming through yet but I am sure it will not be long.  The signs are in place now.  I think they look very well.

These are all the photos from today.  We also felt really good about our project today as Sandra was telling us that some of the residents that are sometimes reluctant to come outside their rooms are now easy to coax into going outside to see how the plants are growing.  This is really good and the pupils were very proud of the fact that their  input could be making a real difference on the lives of the elderly residents.

That is all for now.  Will update next week.
