We work in partnership with Grow-to-School to grow, tend and harvest plants and vegetables in our allotment. 

Today the fabulous Vashti visited us again to lead each class's gardening session. Vashti links in our science topics with our gardening work so we were able to combine our learning about topics such as habitats and photosynthesis with harvesting spinach and broccoli! 

In Year 6 the children made a vegetable bed using natural resources they could source from the environment.

In Year 5, we harvested broccoli, lettuce and mezzuna leaves and Maine potatoes which we will put in our window to watch the roots develop over the next few weeks ready to plant in summer 1. During gardening, we planted new seeds to grow peas and more lettuce, which we are excited about watching grow. At the same time we made our very own miniature allotments which included 5 beds and had to represent 5 different vegetables growing. 

Year 3 used natural materials to make a picture of the inside of a flower and then planted onions.
