The Quad Squad Strike Again

With the new build complete Y3 & 4 classes will soon be coming round the back and into the playground again to meet parents at the end of the day. As this has not been used for ages, it has become a dumping ground. What a mess! The Quad Squad have been tasked with the clean up and set about it with their usual enthusiasm. Check out what a difference they have made in only an hour…

Today was an absolute scorcher for the end of September with temperatures in the quad hitting a whopping 25 C.
The Quad Squad got a sweat on staring their big Autumn tidy up!

Here are some photos of life on the allotment during early May. We are waiting for some plants to appear (like the carrots), but other plants are springing up really quickly; just a few weeks ago there was hardly anything to see – just empty beds… We’ll post some more photos soon:)

Watering time

Y5 & 6 children spent an hour watering this thirsty allotment and were rewarded by polishing off all the ripe strawberries! As often happens it rained like crazy only a few hours later, but it was good exercise!

Obviously things have slowed right down over the Winter months and nothing much has been harvested apart from the odd sprout and leek. Onion, shallot and garlic sets were planted out in October/November along with some raspberry canes, hopefully all doing ok beneath their blanket of snow…

Some Y2, 4 & 5 children enjoyed the afternoon harvesting the lettuce for sale at school. They also experienced eating a really fresh carrot!
Check these beauties out... Kids looking OK too!
Who needs a microphone?
Back off bunnies...The carrots are mine!

The beetroot coming on nicely...
Everything on the allotment is growing well. The only disaster so far is that the first lot of peas were destroyed by the pigeons! A lesson learned…

Year 1 visited the allotment this week. They enjoyed the sunshine and were full of admiration for the scarecrows…
The scarecrows are getting more lifelike...but still scary!
