4 Maple In The Garden

On Wednesday 21st October 4 Maple had their turn in the garden. Luckily, the weather was nice and it had stopped raining.

Firstly, the children were taken on a guided tour of the garden by Dave. He explained what everything was and how the school was trying to grow its own fruit. Everybody learnt something new, even Mr Haycock!

Secondly, the children went in the poly tunnel to look at the plants, seeds and other things that were being housed in there for the winter months. The children looked at sunflower seeds and tomatoes.

Finally, everybody got their hands dirty by digging for potatoes. Then, they had to pick up great big piles of leaves to make compost, before they unearthed plants (trying to keep the root attached).

Thank you to Dave for a fantastic afternoon of learning!
