Terrific Thursday

Positivity Garden

Today the children began work on the positivity garden.  We looked forward to having our garden ready by the summer with a range of beautiful flowers and vegetables which the children will be working on over the coming weeks.  The children started by decorating pots which will be used for planting. They learnt about a different range of flowers including Calendula, Nasturilum, Sweet Peas, Snap Dragons/ Antirrhinum, Pansy and Violas and began planting. We also talked about what seeds will need in order to grow: water, soil and sunlight.  The children helped with some weeding of the beds in preparation for planting.  The children painted some beach stones which will  be decorated with Positive affirmations and displayed in our garden.

Thank you to Incredible Edibles a healthy eating initiative for Primary School students which encourages schools across the country to get busy growing fruit, vegetables and herbs. Incredible Edibles is an interactive project that allows students to get their hands dirty and learn by doing. Thank you to Agri Aware for providing our school with compost, biodegradable pots and seeds to grow carrots, potatoes, strawberries, turnips, lettuce and chives.
