It's Tuesday 10th May and our grounds are looking gooooooood! We spent most of today with Mrs Poll clearing stones and bricks out of the raised beds ready to plant all our fruit and vegetable shoots from before Easter!
Unfortunately some of the plants did not survive over the holidays. Tomatoes, sweetcorn and some herbs haev been wilting away from a lack of tender loving care whilst we were all away from school! Due to this, Mrs Poll very kindly brought in some of hers from home to replace them and now the raised beds are overflowing with life!
Most of the class got involved with the planting however there are still a few raised beds which need clearing out ready for more seeds...so the fun will continue tomorrow!
Over playtime more and more people came along to help out with the project - even Mr Dixon lent a hand.
In the next few weeks Sean is planning to come in and begin work on our orchard. This is very exciting and we can't wait! Not only can you perch on the end of the large wooden tubs and smell the gill, corrriander and parsley...but hopefully soon you'll be able to pick an apple from a nearby tree and enjoy the fruits of our labour!
wow its wonderful!!!!
