This Week In The Garden Classroom

Posted on 10th May 2024 by Tracie Dowling

We have loved getting outdoors and sowing some salad crops. We mixed the peat free compost, filled the pots, sowed the seeds and gently watered them in to germinate.

We had fun looking around the garden for bugs, we found snails, ants, butterflies, a dragonfly, wood louse, worm and Fizzy our cat asleep in the shade. Mable and Elliott thought the yellow poppies were pretty.

We had a lovely time in the garden, we are excited to see our seeds germinate and turn into delicious salad crops, so we can have them for lunch.

Our Favourite Christmas Activities Of week 2

Posted on 16th Dec 2023 by Tracie Dowling

We started off the week making a ginger bread house and Christmas trees.

Unfortunately the house kept falling apart so the children decided to eat it instead!

We decided to make gingerbread men instead to decorate, it was far easier for the children. However the end result was the same… they ate them and took one home for someone special, nom nom

Everyone was in the festive mood when we had Christmas Jumper day.

Fun was had trying to learn how to balance penguins and polar bears on the floating icebergs. The children enjoyed the activity so much we played it four times in one day!
