Year Nine Students in Crocus Project

November 9, 2009

Class 09/72 have been busy planting yellow crocus bulbs as part of a project run by the Holocaust Educational Trust. The aim of the project is to remember those that died in Europe during the Second World War. Watching the flowers grow encourages ongoing learning about the importance of tolerance and respect.

The class are now looking forward to watching the crocus’ blossom in late January.
