This week in Eco Club


Hello everyone! This week we have finished writing the letter to the beekeeper to ask him about giving us some bees. We are also applying for a free grant for minibeast city. We are also planning for the summer fair, because we are going to be there. Also, thank-you for everyone who has been donating construction materials, but we still need a bit more - especially pallets!
