As you can see from the photos, it was tiring work digging holes and planting our apple trees but it will be worth it in the end! We worked as a team to get the job done and took turns to get dirty down on the grass. Back in class some children used the laptops to research the 9 different types of apple tree we were planting and created some interesting and useful fact sheets.
These will hopefully be displayed outside near the trees once they have grown a little. You will be able to find out when the best time to eat the apples will be and also whether they will be sweet and crisp or more bitter and have softer flesh! We really didn't realise there were so many different types of apple. Apparently there are over 7,500!!
Here are the fact sheets we created as a class:
