Echo Environmental Awards 2013

 What a brilliant time we all had at The Echo Environmental Awards ceremony.

The Junior Artists Club won
 Keep Learning Young Environmental Stars Award.

 The Junior Artists Club was represented by Zoe Hough (artist); her mum Wendy; Carole Trenaman (project co-ordinator); and Jude Cooke (HAA Educational representative).

The ceremony took place at the Isla Gladstone Conservatory. It was a wonderfully atmospheric building and absolutely packed with a wide variety of business delegates, community members, educationalists, and press and media representatives.




We were on a table with representatives from


Black Frost
Friends of Garston Park &
The Printroom Uk Ltd

Wonderful sunset

The Printroom UK Ltd won Carbon Champion Award

European Waste Awareness Week

Please join the children from Junior Artists Club and see what they have created from recycled and renewable resources. Thanks

Recycling to create Flowers

For the last 2 weeks the children have been using discarded materials to create their own flowers and mini gardens in a box.
They have used a variety of techniques and materials, exploring the textures, shapes, and flexibility of the materials. Also making a right mess with paint and glue!

They have been supported by Carole, Sheila, and Emma.

Next week we are going to try and create our own limericks.

Halewood Country Show 2012

We had a great day at yesterday's Halewood Country Show. There was a last minute change of venue due to the Meadow being knee deep in water! We had to hot foot it around to The Arncliffe Park area, which was dry and had a car park.

The sun came out and we were hot hot hot in our marquee.

There was lots to see and do, with the children being really well cared for. Archery, Climbing Wall, Circus Skills, and Lots and lots of creepy crawly animals and snakes to look at and hold!

Our recycling family art workshop went down a storm, and we were last to pack up!

All the flowers and windmills were different with the children adding their own finishing touches.

There was also a really interesting stall showcasing corn dolly making, wish we had time to try making some for ourselves!

The Dog Show was a big crowd pleaser and the Falcons were dramatic. Halewood Community Choir added a musical element to the proceedings.

Thanks to Emma, Karen, and Carole for staffing the Halewood Arts Association stall, and The Rangers for inviting us.
