  • Vegetable Patch Donations

    Published 16/04/24

    Now that the vegetable patch has been dug over and tidied up, we are looking forward to getting some planting done 😎🌞.

    The children are hoping to plant vegetables, fruit, and some flowers to keep the bees and other insects happy.

    We have sown some seeds last half-term, and they are growing well. If you have spare plants that you would be willing to donate to school, we would be very grateful. Plants can be either sent into class with children or taken to the office. 🌱🌸⚘️🌼🥕🥔🍅🫘🥒🧄🧅🫛

    What a fantastic morning! We cannot thank everyone enough for all of their hard work.

    A new gate has been made from an old fence panel to make the entrance wider and the whole space more accessible.  The greenhouses are sparkly too. We just need to order a few sleepers and some extra bits to reinforce the back fence.

    Lots of work has been done down in Forest School, ready for Welly Wanderers.

  • Year 3 and 4 Hindu Experience
