Wet weather seemed to support the idea of creating a bog garden with Froglife at Duntrune Community Garden this week. It was miserable but we got the job done. A credit to our young people. #EcoSchools

S1 and S3 Outdoor Learning groups Grove Academy made a ‘hygge’ home for nature. #KSBEcoAdvent. This is a beetle home made of tied sticks filled with leaves. #nature #wildlife. Scots may better understand a ‘coorie’ home.

The Senior Personal Development Award group have started their advent collection for the Taught By Muhammad Foodbank. If all Pupils made a contribution it would be a big help to the Foodbank. Here is a list of items the Foodbank are in need of.

Massive thanks to the people who have donated food to the Taught By Muhamad Foodbank. To further support the Foodbanks we are doing a non uniform day on the last day of the term. Per usual we are asking for a £1 donation to help support the Dundee & Angus Foodbank. #GroveFamily

Outdoor Learning groups from Grove Academy have been busy Green Growers. The bog garden is taking shape, the wood chip pile is now used to upgrade the path and we are trying our hand at creating a dead hege for wildlife. #Community

S4-S6 Personal Development Award groups met a team of Youth Ambassadors from Dundee Volunteer & Voluntary Action promoting volunteering to their peers. The Youth Ambassadors led groups & helped our young people learn the value of volunteering as they work on their Self and Work unit. #YouthEmpowerment

#SpringCleanScotland with Grove Academy Eco Group. The group went at lunchtime and collected litter from Davidson St, one of the streets flagged up by neighbours as being routinely littered by Grove pupils. #DundeeEcoschools #ProblemSolving

Happy Easter everyone! Egg painting and egg rolling at the end of term. Good fun, even in the pouring rain!

#SpringCleanScotland Grove Academy Eco Group clearing a local spot where littering occurs. 2kg of waste collected this time.

#RHSBloom60 began its Grove Academy journey with the S2 Outdoor Learning Group today. 5 different seeds sown. We made our own seed mix and “hatched” our seeds (we hope). We also made our own #WildFlower mix from our stored seeds and scattered that in our butterfly bed at school

The senior Personal Development Award group spent their last day visiting the Dundee and Angus Foodbank @TrussellTrust We visited their new premises, complete with warm space cafe serving food Tuesday-Thursday. We also handed over our fundraising cheque for over £740. Well done!

Grove Academy Eco Group making great progress with Keep Scotland Beautiful #pocketgardencompetition. Our award winning design marked the start of the next creative phase when we actually have to build the garden. We are making progress on the 'cave' stage!

Louise from Froglife helped at Shiell St today. The group worked on the Shiell St pond, found a frog in the pond. First one spotted this year. Also developed the bug hotel and planted our donated blueberry bush. #ThisIsLforS

Building a bug hotel continues with another layer. Bee friendly wildflower seeds sowed in support of 38 Degrees A charity that supports small actions to create big changes. The seedlings from #RHSGrowWithIt are coming along nicely

#EcoSchhools reached the next stage of their design competition with @KSBScotland Thanks to Broughty Ferry UK Men’s Sheds Association for helping with the base. The garden is being installed at Queen St Community Garden. #ThisIsLforS

Bug hotels, pond and bog gardens completed in both community gardens. Last lot of netting put up at Queen St thanks to #BagsOfHelp for brilliant support with equipment, netting, new door and pond plants. Thanks too to fab OL pupils! #EcoSchoolsDundee

Eco group continue developing their #pocketgarden for @KSBScotland. Also final day for S2 Outdoor Learning group who checked on their #RHSGrowWithIt seedlings which are all doing nicely. Then off to the beach for a farewell.
