Our Vegetable Garden

Over the last few weeks we have been creating a vegetable garden with the hope we will grow enough vegetables to make soup.

It was after a discussion on plants that the children had a vote between a flower garden and a vegetable garden and they have really enjoyed having a chance to plant in small groups with Jennie Robertson our Learning Assistant.

At the same time it was decided we needed to put signs in the garden and yesterday the children were pleased to be able to add the signs in the garden.

At the same time the children have been waiting patiently for their bean seeds to shoot and hopefully grow tall enough for Jack to reach the castle!

Through these two activities the children have learnt what plants need to survive and that plants are suited to certain environments.

If you have a chance ask your child to take you to see the garden.

Thank you to Piptia's for showing us how to make dumplings last week. The children enjoyed to experience and were certainly very happy to sample the dumplings they made.
