Seedlings!

Hello,

We have Seedlings!

The first two weeks after Easter I went into years 1 – 6 and taught the pupils about seeds and how to sow them. I am pleased to report that they are growing really well! Some were sown direct into the ground, some in pots and seed trays that have been in the greenhouses to help germination. The seeds are growing really well and all pupils showed enthusiasm and interest in sowing the seeds and done so very well.

Here is table to show which seeds each year group have sown.

Year 1 - Hepworth	Cosmos, Courgette, Carrots and Nasturtiums
Year 1 - Miro	Marigolds, Calendula, Sweetcorn and Cucumbers
Year 2 -  Sarro, Warhol & kusama	Giant Sunflowers
Year 3 - Done & Towns	Cosmos, Dwarf Carrots, Sweet Peas and Sunflowers
Year 4 - Gormley & Moore	Carrots, Raddish and Marigolds
Year 5 - Bansky & Harrison	Runner Beans, Cosmos, Pumpkin and Sunflowers
Year 6 – Bergmann and Hong Oai	Lettuce, Spring Onions and Potatoes

Here are some pictures of the seedlings.
