Allotment Fun!

6th February 2025Emma Adams

We are delighted to be working with Kaye and Danielle from Williby Rocs. Last week, some of our Year 6 pupils began to draw up designs for our allotment site, and made a planting timetable for different vegetable seeds. In Year 2 this week, Y2A started with a quiz on the different parts of a flower, and also thought about what our seeds would need to grow. We began to discuss the importance of attracting butterflies and bees into our garden. We then planted some onion, broad bean and pea seeds after looking at the plan from year 6. We learnt that sowing means planting a seed when it is very small. We loved getting our hands dirty! Bobby even made links to our morning maths work – noticing that the seeds were planted in 3s! Over the coming weeks, we are looking forward to observing and caring for our seeds. We even started to design scarecrows to place in the allotment and hopefully protect our growing plants! Thank you Kaye and Danielle!
