Giant Pumpkins!

The 2/3 have been working hard all term preparing a pumpkin patch, researching varieties to grow and planning and preparing for ‘The Great Giant Pumpkin Grow’. Archer really wanted us to grow a giant pumpkin which we all thought was a fun idea. We wanted to give families the opportunity to grow a giant pumpkin at home. Sourcing seed wasn’t that easy but luckily, I had some saved after our family grew them for a giant pumpkin competition with some friends. The children have made posters and written growing notes and made envelopes for the seed. You might notice that your child may have brought one home today!

Please only attempt to grow if you have the water and the space – they need a lot of both. If you don’t think that’s something your family can manage then we ask you to kindly return the seed for another family to have a go, if your child brought one home.

We’d love regular photos and updates during the growing season with the hope of having a day next year where we bring the pumpkins in to show.
