DT - Gardening 

We planted garlic and spring bulbs ready for next year. 

Year 1 enjoyed a tasting and sorting activity to decide whether a certain food was fruit or vegetable.  

We have started spring gardening and hopefully we will have a crop of homegrown fruit and vegetables .This has helped the children understand where fruit and vegetables are grown whether underground, above ground or on trees or vines.

Thank you Jo (Asda Community Champion) who visited Year 1 and provided a range fruit and vegetable ingredients for Smoothies.
