Outdoor Blog

20th May 2022Neil Simpson

In outdoor learning we have been learning about Bees and making some Bee art.  The children decided this will help raise awareness of the importance of Bees.  We even used hammers and nails to create our own flower bed looking at measurements and working as a team.

Thank you to Brian Nicholson, who had kindly donated some fantastic gardening equipment to the school.
This week in outdoor learning we have looked at parts of the plant. We looked at how seeds grow and planted pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds. We look forward to when they are fully grown to eat.
