The Eco-Club has members from year 3 to year 6 and meets on a Tuesday lunch time. We have a working lunch – discussing plans for that session whilst we are eating! This term we have had a complete revamp of the gardening area. Instead of sharing an area with the reception classes, we have a purpose built gardening area by the side entrance of Key Stage 1. This consists of two stand alone raised beds and three vegetable pots. Shingle has been put around the beds making it easier for the children to weed and dig them. We also have a mini greenhouse which we planted cauliflower seeds in a few weeks ago and have just started to sprout. These will be moved to one of the vegetable plots when they get a little bigger. We have already planted one of the plots with red onions and the other with white onions and garlic. These should be ready by late spring; which will be plenty of time to get our salad crop in. With the help of the Morrison vouchers we were able to purchase a number of small spades, forks, trowels and labels – this has enabled everyone to participate fully in the sessions. Thank you to everyone bought vouchers in – last year and this year! Here are some pictures of the eco-team at work:
