HCB Eco Council launch Sunflower Competition

9th Apr 2025
As part of a whole-school initiative to celebrate growth and nurture, every pupil had the opportunity to plant their very own sunflower this week. Guided by Mr Johnston, the Eco Council and P7 pupils, each class got hands-on with soil, seeds, and pots, learning about what plants need to grow and thrive. It was a wonderful way to bring all year groups together through a shared activity that combines nature, science, and teamwork.

To add a little excitement, we’ve launched a Sunflower Competition! The tallest sunflower in each year group will receive a special prize at the end of the term. We can’t wait to see how the sunflowers progress over the coming weeks – let the growing begin!
