St Thomas children entered the local horticultural society show in 2011 and really enjoyed the whole experience. The project was also an eTwinning project with schools in Bulgaria and Poland.

1. Recycled
Flower
Power
collect, research, design, make and share!
An eTwinning project between
Bulgaria, Scotland and Poland.

2. Collecting ‘rubbish’
First we collected the materials
for our project. We had an
interesting discussion in the
class about recycling and about
how much we waste by having
so much packaging around our
food.

3. Researching native flowers
Next we spent some
time exploring to find
and study native
flowers in our
neighbourhood. From
left to right are;
broom, scabious and
buttercup.
The flies are
enjoying the nectar
of the buttercup
even this late in the
season!

4. Working after school
Our parents and grandparents
came to school to help us create
flowers from our collected
packaging.

5. The finished flowers
We showed our home-made flowers at the local horticultural show.
Some of us won prizes. We also sent some flowers to our European
friends. We are waiting for their flowers which should arrive any day
now!
