We are so lucky to have such a green environment.....

 Juliet Robertson commented in response to Ed's blog post:  10 ways to think about your learning space…
"There is substantial research about the positive impact of having access to greenspace and natural materials. The more “green and blue” in your learning environment, the calmer and less stressed everyone is (Wells & Lekkie, 2000). Adults and children. Have lots of plants in your room (why not grow a forest). Furthermore a PhD student, Kathleen Bagot (2009) from Melbourne has conclusively linked the amount of vegetation in primary school grounds to concentration levels and subsequent impact on attainment levels within schools.

It prompted me to share some of our gorgeous gardens around our school thanks to Pat's dedication and hard work.
