Our NEW school pond......
During the Easter holidays, we were able to use our Nature Park grant to create a new pond and shed within the school garden area. Here are some photos during the construction.
The pond will enable children to experience pond-dipping activities and enrich the science curriculum. The new shed will be a great asset for storing all the useful equipment we need when in the garden. We are looking forward to seeing if the frogs find the pond this year. We will keep you posted.......
Pumpkin Growing at Gardening Club
A pumpkin growing competition has been taking place this year, with many pumpkins growing wildly on their allocated spot! We have cut three already and many more are still growing. We will announce the winners here when the final weigh-in has taken place.
Our Garden in progress...
Our three raised beds have now been cleared ready for over-wintering. They have been planted with green manure which will be dug into the ground over the winter. This will help the soil to be at its best ready for next Spring's planting.
