Sea change: How the Herring Queen brought promise and joy to a small Scottish town
theguardian.com
The annual coronation of a young girl symbolised a fishing community’s hopes. Now, as the industry declines, it has evolved to reflect the powerful role of women and the change they bring about

Thank you @EyemouthHarbour for inviting @eyemouth_high Horti students to be part of your stunning Sea Garden project. We loved working with community heroes to fill the exquisite planters with such beautiful plants. Thanks, also, for the most delicious @Giacopazzis ice-cream 😋

Practicing what I preach: flashcards - part of @eyemouth_high #revisionrevolution. And for me, helping to learn the taxonomy of 20 plants in the garden as part of @RBGE_Education #certificateinpracticalhorticuture

So it seems that our Schlumbergera truncata, aka Winter / Christmas cactus, has flowered just as our seniors prepare for their exams. Definitely time to flourish 🌼 You've got this @eyemouth_high S4 - S6 💪

Exactly a month later and look! Thanks @GWmag for the seeds and inspiration 🙂 🌱
Part of today's Horticulture lesson was taken straight from the pages @GWmag 😄 Loving being in the greenhouse & seeing the first signs of new life 🌱 @eyemouth_high, we're so lucky to have "all weather" Horti opportunities, providing a welcome break to the intensive folio work.

Huge thanks @HowickHall for a fantastic morning enjoyed by all our @eyemouth_high Horticulture students. We loved seeing the nursery with Robert, the Head Gardener, followed by tea (Earl Gray, of course) & cake. Many thanks @DYWScot for making such an inspirational trip possible

Just over a month ago, @eyemouth_high Horti students sowed their first onion seeds, courtesy of @GWmag - and look! Actual seedlings! So excited to see if we can grow them to maturity (& then the kitchen 😋)🤞🏻 #growsomethingdifferent
Today, the brilliant Senior Horti students @eyemouth_high started to #GrowSomethingDifferent: onions from seed. Although we've grown (& are growing) onions from sets, this is our first time trying seeds. In case you're wondering, that's vermiculite sealing in moisture-not snow!

It was a wonderful afternoon! Thank you @eyemouth_high for supporting these endeavours - it's such a privilege (and joy) working with some of our youngest, young people 🙂 #SBCway.
What a pleasure it was to host two P2 classes from @EyemouthPrimary this afternoon who visited @eyemouth_high for a wee tour and to learn about electricity. Thanks to our #YoungSTEMLeaders for demonstrating the fruit batteries and @KatherineLymer for teaching about circuits!

Another fab afternoon of electricity @AytonPrimary! After matching circuit symbols to their correct names, the P6-7's built some simple (& not so simple!) circuits. Meanwhile, the P1-3's started work on their electrical safety display & I am so excited to see it next week.

Well done @eyemouth_high Senior Horticulture students on a very productive 2 days! We took cuttings from 2 different succulents, to grow in 2 different compost mixes (+ rooting gel). With a 3rd compost mixture, we sowed chocolate cherry vine tomatoes-so excited to see the results

Delighted to be back @AytonPrimary to learn about electricity: P1-3's showed excellent teamwork as they grouped photos of objects according to electricity source, while the P6-7's used their highly developed experimental skills to investigate conducting & insulating materials 👌🏻

It's spring time @eyemouth_high! We're so delighted with how well the lettuce and tomato plants are growing, that we've set up a second hydroponic unit with a fresh offering of veg and herbs. Tis amazing what some extra light and a good supply of nutrients will do. 🤔

Senior Horticulture students @eyemouth_high kicked off the New Year by sowing chilli seeds. We'll be comparing germination in our heated propagator vs individual humidity domes aka poly-pockets 😄 All being well, we'll have healthy plants for our May sale 🤞🏻
