Please remember that we still need items for our Scrap Shed.

Any donation of large cardboard, pipes, tubes, guttering, material, cable drums (and many other items) are all fantastic things that will help us get going with this great project.

 

Thanks

Allotment Saves the Day!

Following the miraculous disappearance of Mrs Dell's rhubarb last night the allotment came to the rescue. With panic setting in Mrs Dell made a quick dash to the allotment to raid our supplies and was able to pinch some of our fresh rhubarb! Below are some pictures showing how our rhubarb went from in the ground to on the plate!!

Our Smashing Scarecrow!

Here is a picture of the latest addition to the allotment. Crafted carefully by Mrs Westerman, our fantastic scarecrow is doing a brilliant job keeping all the birds away from our crops.

Volunteer Day in the Allotment

Monday saw the allotment busy with volunteers helping to spruce up our beds and planting. The school would like to say a big thank you to all of the people who gave up their time and the allotment club have already said how impressed they are with some of the changes that were made on the day! Thank you!!!!

Allotment Update - October

Mrs Westerman has got a fantastic group of keen, enthusiastic gardeners who attend her allotment club and they have been working hard on clearing and digging the weeds out.

The older children have planted onions which hopefully will be ready to harvest next June.Whilst this has been happening, the younger children have been planting strawberry plants in preparation for strawberries and cream next summer!! Yum!! A big thank you to Jamie Lonsdale's granddad for the kind donation of the plants! Keep up the hard work guys.

Allotment Harvested

Yesterday, Monday 16th July, saw Year 2 go into the allotment and harvest our remaining crops! Below are some pictures of the guys getting their hands dirty and some of the fantastic produce they found. Mrs Westerman, allotment club leader, was amazed at the harvesting skills and is looking forward to Mrs Campy using the items in her lunch menu today!

Allotment Club

Here are some pictures of the allotment club's fantastic work. Mrs Westerman has kept the club going with Miss Blaymire away and they have done some planting at the front of school and are continuing to harvest our crops! Keep up the good work guys!
