The children looked for different types of minibeast and insects. They checked the different sections were creating a safe place to shelter, lay eggs, raise young and seek refuge from predators.
Thank you to B&Q for the zillion leeks - we've planted 100 (plus some to leave to flower). The school kitchen are well up for using them in September when they're harvested. Year 5 and 6 were able to talk to us about healthy eating whilst planting 👍
Thank you Laura and little helpers too for explaining how to plant leeks (trimming the roots, spacing and puddling in)
Thank you to the parents and grandparents who came the other weekend to help paint sheds, weed, clear nettles and much more! And thank you to the chair of the parish council for making us some utterly wonderful benches and bee houses 🐝

Broccoli and Marigolds...
The children learned about different flowers in the colours they'd chosen for the Belonging and Caring Garden. Then they voted and showed the results in a chart 👍
Year 6 and Year 2 have had discussions about the development of the area and how we can make school a better place for wildlife 👍
Year 5 check the progress of their potatoes and develop skills and knowledge about different kinds of plants (veg and flower)
We were thrilled to see Year 5's artwork in their natural environment!
Our work with year 6 includes field studies of plants growing in school; identifying them and discussing how we might classify them.
Year 6 will also be working with us to develop the new wildlife area and pond; researching and sourcing native aquatic plants locally for us. We will also plant and study tubers, strawberries and potatoes.
