Last week, thanks to Cova Austin, we started to work in the school garden. The children set to work with evident enjoyment, digging, raking, weeding and generally tidying the beds and getting them ready for new seeds to be planted.
It was wonderful to be out in the fresh air, learning about plants and finding out what we may be going to grow this year. Even though her daghter has "graduated" and is now in class 3 at Saconnex, Cova's enthusiasm is undimmed and we really appreciate her efforts. If any parents would like to help out on Thursday mornings, please let us know.
Working in the garden on Thursdays will link perfectly with our upcoming unit of inquiry: Our World of Plants.
