As the Summer Term comes to an end the gardening team are slowly arranging for pupils and parents to take home many of the more needy plants in the garden for the summer break. Whilst the garden will still be regularly watered (as our sunflowers and pumpkins are taking on giant proportions and will need lots of TLC over the break), many plants are better off at home with pupils where they can be cared for daily. There are still lots of tomato plants needing homes so please get in contact if you would like one this week!

The school garden is looking blooming marvellous at the moment and even the butterflies agree! Today we found the first butterfly eggs of the season on the nasturtiums in the Pollinator Planter which were planted for exactly this reason. We believe they are eggs of the Large White butterfly and should hatch within a week or two.
In other news, the pumpkins planted by Reception class are in the ground and growing quickly. The team also entered the Year 2 Sweet Peas in the local Flower Show held at Binsted Fete and they won second place - well done Year 2! |
