Growing our own food

Learners planted new carrots and onions. They checked on the carrots already in the ground to see how much they had grown. Then came the best part. Learners harvested the ready carrots and sorted the onions.

Looking after the garden

The group prepared the soil ready for new flowers. Learners trimmed and pulled out weeds, then cleared away the cuttings and branches. Spades out, the group worked together to dig a hole for the new pond.

Picking and collecting

Learners picked flowers from the garden. They also collected apples from the trees.

Time to rest

After all the hard work, everyone stopped to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Learning outside the classroom
