As part of Earth Day earlier in the week, the Eco-Team children met with Miss Brown to discuss ideas and actions for summer. They have decided they would like to transform the new large planter by the office into a vegetable patch! On Friday 23rd May, we will have a non-unform day to help raise money for new gardening equipment, seeds, bulbs and future projects.

Our Eco Team really mucked in and tackled the large planter that had been overrun with weeds. The children were absolutely thrilled to wear their new gardening gloves and wield the tools as they dug out the stubborn weeds.They were great at naming the different parts of the plants and loved pulling up the roots. Their curiosity was piqued when they discovered some enormous worms wriggling in the soil!

Year 2 children tried their hands at having green fingers… well, brown, really! They helped plant a fantastic variety of goodies: 60 sunflowers, 60 peas, cucumbers, sweetcorn, broccoli, and more. Stay tuned for updates on their growing progress – we can't wait to see how it all turns out!

The Eco Team enjoyed the sunshine today as they tackled the borders at the front of the school. They got stuck in, removing weeds, nettles, and dandelions, and even filled up a massive gardening bag. What a fab effort!

This afternoon, our Eco-Team dodged the rain and got busy planting a variety of vegetables in our planter! We’ve now got peas, beans, cucumbers, sweetcorn, pumpkins, tomatoes, and peppers sprouting. Please feel free to come by and check them out as they grow, but remember not to walk on the planter or pick any leaves! We raised a fantastic £114 before the holidays for our projects, and we've started purchasing some gardening supplies, including rakes, spades, forks, trowels, sweeping brushes, and a watering can. We’ve even added a few more plants to our collection, so come and see what we’ve been up to!
