Earlier today the staff, parents and pupils of Prestonfield Primary School had a Rubbish Morning Out and invited The Edinburgh Reporter to join them. Our photo above shows a team of three litter pickers Ghaliyah (4) Kasey (9) and Saby (7).

Headteacher Fiona Murray explained: “Parents were invited to support us in looking after our environment by coming into school to hear about the work we have been doing in the areas of sustainability, health, safety and children’s rights.
“There was a presentation of the children’s work followed by a whole school community litter pick with the parents joining in. We are currently working towards our second Green Flag, RRSA Level 2 and Healthy Schools Stage 3, so this all ties in together really well.”
The day dawned bright and dry so it was lovely to join the children on their walkabout, and they were very diligent about recording everything they picked up!
