Week Beginning 27.04.26
This week we took up the last of our spring flowers and processed the bulbs ready to use for next year. We turned the soil and then began planting some new plants - in our white beds we have planted our first little herb garden with more to be added next session. We also planted some young sweet pea plants in the tyres to start growing as well as some courgette plants too. We have everything a good tidy and watering! We have also been donated some snake plants so these will be donated to each class. Thank you so much!
Week Beginning 13.04.26
This week we said goodbye to a lot of our lovely spring flowers. We pulled up those flowers which had snapped in the wind or where they had begun to wilt. We rescued the bulbs carefully from the soil and will keep these to reuse next year! We also did some sweeping and tidying. At the front of the school, we weeded our summer bulb bed and placed some bark chips on the top to help protect them and the soil.
We have also been kindly donated some tools, compost and a walk-in greenhouse by Jackson-Roy's family. Thank you so much for your kind donation, it will be a huge help with gardening club!
Week Beginning 23.03.26
This week we have been using the 'Growing to love tomatoes' pack donated to the school. Each child planted a tomato seed. They also took home their own pack of seeds, a sticker chart to track their plant's growth and some cells to grow them in. We also planted some carrot seeds, some more summer bulbs, some onion bulbs and finally some sweetcorn starters donated by Mrs Atkins from her allotment.
