Year 5 and 6 blog:

Vegetable Garden:

The 6 new vegetable beds on the school field had to be dug up, turned over and composted with swept leaves.  The children learnt how to use spades, folks and hoes in the most efficient ways, working together to complete a pretty strenuous job!  After the winter, a protective layer of recycled cardboard sheets will be placed over the composted soil and leaf-litter to help prevent the weeds and grass growing back through.  After some fresh topsoil in the spring, the children will plant a variety of seeds and wait for the crops to appear!
