Trees and hedgerows fight climate change, provide homes for wildlife, improve our health, reduce pollution and so much more. By planting more this #NationalTreeWeek, we're helping our planet for future generations! 🌳

We are all set and ready for our Tree Planting Ceremony this afternoon @TheTreeCouncil @KSBScotland #ecostandrews

#pebblebossbaby has grown so much!

P6 completed #pebblebossbaby ‘s monthly check ups today. They are happy to note that Pebble is 1 gram heavier and 1.5cm’s longer than last month. They are doing a fantastic job looking after him.

P6 are happy with their new classroom and even more excited about their new class pet 'Pebble' the African Snail. Pebble is 2 months old, over the next year P6 will monitor and track his growth, learn amazing facts about him as well as nurture and care for him. #pebblebossbaby

We are so lucky to have 2 gardens in the Pocket Garden Competition final. Here is a video that showcases our 'Burrow and Nest Garden' @KSBScotland youtu.be/Sxyh6dBdPMQ We hope it make you want to vote for us #ecostandrews

P2 were thrilled to see a deer 🦌 behind our school this morning. They were lucky to spot and watch it for several minutes #ecostandrews

Look out for the St Andrew’s gardens and please vote!

I absolutely love these forest creatures that P4 created today. They make the outdoor classroom feel magical - I know P1 agree with me #ecostandrews

What an amazing job P1 did to create these ‘Tree Champion Superheroes’ today. They look ready to protect the trees and tackle climate change @WoodlandTrust #ecostandrews

These Eco Committee members would like to remind you to measure your sunflower 🌻 this week. All measurements will be added to our Sunflower Leaderboard. Who’s sunflower will be the halfway winner?

@StAndrewsRCPS My sunflower is 94cm tall.

How tall has your sunflower grown? Next week we will be asking all competitors to do a height check on their sunflower and to let the judges know how tall they have grown. We look forward to seeing the results.

Save the date - 19 June. For our free online 2024 Conference the theme will be pollinator-friendly actions & features Local Authorities, our All-Ireland counterparts, Nature Networks, NHS grounds, and a fascinating project in Arnhem. e: Jim.jeffrey@nature.scot for details

Cedric the sun flower has grown too tall for his pot! Today he left the warmth of the kitchen to live his new life in the garden. Has anyone else planted their seedlings outdoors yet? #ecostandrews

Get set for Clean Air Day 20th June - learn about impacts of air pollution & share knowledge on active travel behaviours - walk short distances, leave the car at home & walk or cycle to improve air quality & your health. ep-scotland.org.uk/clean-air-day/

@StAndrewsRCPS Wow! I hope she was friendly?

We caught one of The Dragon’s friends on cctv. Do you think he is looking for Goldilocks?

More Fairyland fun in P1! Our magic beanstalks have started to grow and The Dragon dropped off another letter and story for us to explore.

@StAndrewsRCPS Congratulations. The cake looks amazing!

Primary 4 and 5 celebrated some of their peers First Holy Communion Today. We enjoyed a beautiful cake and heard from the pupils about how their special day was.

@Midlothian_STEM @StAndrewsTweets I’m very impressed @Midlothian_STEM .

@StAndrewsTweets I measured my sunflowers today - 3 weeks and 5 days since planting them and they are approx 11cm already! 🌻 📏

I planted my sunflower seed today and I’ve put the pot in the sunshine. Thank you for the very clear instructions @StAndrewsTweet. I’m looking forward to seeing how tall my sunflower grows. I have my metre stick at the ready! 🌻 ☀️

Happy #EarthDay! 🌍 Let's celebrate our beautiful planet today and every day by taking actions to protect and preserve it for future generations. Together, we can make a difference! What are you doing in school to celebrate? 🌱💚 #EarthDay2024 #ProtectOurPlanet
