Making very good use of the new frame over the water tray. Having fun experimenting with water. Lots of learning taking place here! Grateful thanks to Graham from the Men's Shed for building the frame for us.

A belated thank you to Portlethen's Men's Shed - Mr Norrie in particular, for providing wonderful materials and expertise in order for us to make natural ornaments to sell at our Christmas Fayre this year.

These P5 girls did a fantastic job of researching where to put the different nesting boxes around our school and @PortlethenGC so we can encourage biodiversity in our community. A huge thank you to Graham Portlethen & District Men's Shed for all his help and our own Mr Armstrong.@RSPB_NEScotland

Thanks again to Graham Portlethen & District Men's Shed and Mr Armstrong for all your help and to @PortlethenGC for allowing us to pop our bird boxes across from our school in the trees so we can watch the birds coming and going. @EcoSchoolsScot @RSPB_NEScotland

A huge thank you to Graham Portlethen & District Men's Shed for helping us put up our new bird bath to encourage diversity of wildlife to come to Hillside. We hope to see lots of birds around soon. @RSPB_NEScotland
