Thanks to all of your wonderful donations of seeds and plants, the children in Early Years have been working their green fingers this term! Through careful watering and monitoring, we have been able to gather our very first harvest!
We have picked the ripe strawberries, pulled up some rather unusual looking carrots (!) and even cut some lettuce and two huge heads of broccoli. We are excited to see our tomato and bean plants beginning to flower and are wondering what might be happening to our potatoes beneath the soil.
So that we were able to all benefit from the delicious fruits (and vegetables!) of our labour, we passed some of what we had picked to the school cooks to include in our dinners this week! The children are particularly excited to taste the broccoli.
Thank you all again to all the parents and carers for providing the seeds and plants for the Early Years planters. Your donations have provided us with rich, first hand learning and has given the EYFS garden a well loved patch of nature.
