Fresh vegetable soup!!! At the end of September the children dug up some potatoes, pulled up some spring onions and made use of the courgettes by making vegetable soup. We enjoyed this lovely, hot soup served with crusty, buttered rolls before big break.

In the middle of October we harvested more potatoes and also carrots and turnips and we cleared the garden ready for winter.

A lovely day was had by all on a sunny Sunday in May at our Annual Duck Race. The children designed little boats that were then sailed down the river. There was a competition for best designed boat. The  ducks were released and Calum Hankin’s duck  won the race. The children enjoyed the Hook-a-Duck, duck Egg-and-Spoon races, hot-dogs and ice-creams. Thanks to all involved for your hard work.

We started our gardening segment in March. the children planted all kinds of vegetables including Kale, potatoes, onions, carrots, courgettes and strawberries. Now, in June, we have been busy watering our crop and so far we have harvested lots of lettuce and juicy, sweet strawberries.

As part of Engineering Week, both rooms carried out lots of investigations and tasks. These included making bridges, newspaper stools and land yachts. We also had an informative visit from Daun Lawless, a construction engineer.

Our hard work has paid off and we have been awarded green school status. We will collect our flag in May. In late Spring time we plan to develop our garden areas.
