Seasonal Outdoor Sessions

Class 3 went outside this afternoon to do some work in our outdoor area. It linked nicely to our topic ‘Eat the seasons’ so we decided to do some seasonal planting. Some of us went into our brand new polytunnel to plant the seeds and place them into a sunny position to germinate whilst we are busy in school (we will check back over the next few weeks to see how they’re getting on). Others started the job of digging over the soil in one of our planters. A few children took up the role of rubbish collector and another carried wheelbarrows full of garden waste over to the compost area. After digging over the area, we decided to plant some peas directly into the soil. We found out that peas like to climb so we built mini structures to help them once they appear. We even identified some unusual looking plants using a plant identifier app. Overall, a great outdoor session which ended up with a group photo for our Class page.  Amazing effort everyone !
