The Big Spring Clean

The Big Spring Clean

As part of their PSHE learning the children of class one have been surveying the local area and deciding what they could improve  They decided we needed to spruce up our vegetable plot area and get it ready for planting. In science lessons, the children have been learning about plants and how they can impact our local environment.  They have conducted tests to find out what conditions are best for growing healthy plants and measured plant growth over time.  They have learnt about wild and cultivated plants and have also found out about our local bat population which led the children to research bat-friendly flowers to grow in our garden. They all enjoyed a morning of digging, weeding and tidying up of our vegetable plot area ready for sowing flowers and vegetables as the weather warms up.
