Our work with year 6 includes field studies of plants growing in school; identifying them and discussing how we might classify them.
Year 6 will also be working with us to develop the new wildlife area and pond; researching and sourcing native aquatic plants locally for us. We will also plant and study tubers, strawberries and potatoes.

Tuesday 9th Jan 2024 - We did some soil experiments to investigate the different areas of our school garden. Yr 3 and 4 are learning about soils in class, so we thought we'd find out about the soil in our school garden and how this impacts what we grow. The group will measure the different layers next week to see how much organic matter, clay, silt and sand is present. The children will use this information to help them decide what to grow and where.
New Rose Garden
The children chose purple for the Belonging and Caring Garden at the front of school. With the money raised from plant/produce sales and donations we were able to get some vibrant plants from the garden centre. The amazing Dahlias were a gift to the school from a pupil's relative.
Year 6 made Advent Wreaths at church with church wardens from Bleasby.
The children have helped to renovate our 'Quiet Garden' area and planted a number of sensory plants to enjoy while they work or play in this space.
