This time of year in our garden is all about preparation for the coming season. We have a green manure crop nearly ready to cut and dig in along with our continual building up of our compost.

Mrs Witts has kindly donated her old worm farm. The 1/2s and P/1s are going to take on the set up and the feeding of the worms for the rest of the year. This is another great free resource we have in our space to help improve our soil. The worm wee and their casting are like gold for a garden.

The 5/6s and 4/5s are finishing their mini projects which will be sent home for their evidence of learning at the end of the term. They’ve worked hard but are keen to finish so that we can get back into the kitchen.

The 2/3s are tirelessly working on their future pumpkin patch. They’ve been such hard workers weeding and turning the soil. They’ve already selected some varieties which they would like to grow – Kent, Golden Nugget, and Butternut. We would also like to have a go at planting some more unusual varieties.
