“East Ayrshire Council announces that hundreds of children will benefit from a cash boost to their school to get them learning outdoors – thanks to the initiative of one of their teachers.
Grange Campus has been awarded a grant of £55,570 from the Climate Change Fund to establish an “outdoor classroom”, thanks to a successful bid by Morag Ferguson. Mrs Ferguson is a “transition teacher” in science, working with pupils from Grange, Annanhill, Park School and Woodstock School. And she is now forging ahead with a three- point plan for the Power Off and Learn Outdoors (POLO) project.”
Congratulations Morag, good work!
