Cova showed us the new poly-tunnels she had ordered from the UK, which will act like mini-greenhouses and help our plants to grow quickly.
As you can see in this slide-show, all the boots we planted with bulbs have flowers starting to show. What a great idea that was!
Have a look at this second slide-show to see the Class 2o students planting peas and salad plants and taking the boots for a walk to the front of the school, so that visitors could enjoy them!
During the first gardening session in May everyone enjoyed looking at the glorious display of tulips as well as investigating what is in the heart of each flower head. Cova explained that inside each flower head are stamen which hold the pollen and a central "tower" where the pollen has to be deposited, either by the wind or by insect activity, so that seeds can be formed. The children were absolutely fascinated by this and were to be seen scrutinising the tulip heads carefully and chatting about their observations.
So many colours and shapes to observe and enjoy.
Taking time to appreciate the colourful display.
Listening to Cova's ideas.
How amazing the centres of tulips are if you take the time to look carefully!
Working in our school garden is FUN!
Thank you Cova!
