A blustery but productive afternoon in the garden for half of Year 1 today.
A big thanks to our new volunteer Alex for her help. We planted lots of sweat peas (those planted over winter got caught by a frost sadly) and got some potatoes in the ground for Reception class cooking lessons with Bridget later in the summer. The crab apple tree funded by FORS last April as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy is in bud and will soon be full of blossom for the bumble bees who are already whizzing around looking for suitable nesting sites.

Year 3 have been out in the beautiful sunshine for the past two weeks of gardening getting the raised vegetable beds cleared and topped up with manure ready for the growing season….it’s nearly here! A big thank you to Nikki for all of the help.
It was wonderful to see that all of the snowdrops which Flora and Alex helped some of the pupils plant in the wildlife inclosure last year are all now in flower and providing some much needed forage for the queen bumblebees. |
