Get Your Grown-ups Growing Day.

The rather wild weather did not deter a few brave parents from coming to lend a hand in the school garden.

Pete Tatham from Fagley Youth & Community Centre also came to show his support. The parents and their children along with some of the members of the school garden team, got to work clearing out the veg beds, sowing winter peas and planting some spring bulbs. We have planted irises, bluebells, tulips and daffodils, so we can look forward to a splash of colour on the school playing fields come the spring.
We also harvested the last of of summer crop which will be on display and the harvest assembly tomorrow.
Class 6 with the help of Mrs. Capuvanno, baked a delicious chocolate cake for the gardening volunteers to enjoy.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to the parents who came to help out and hopefully those who could not make it this time, will be able to join us in the school garden next time. Willing hands are always welcome!
