Eco-Club

Eco - club have planted eight bags of seed potatoes. Seven are up on the roof and one is in the reception class. Harvesting of the potatoes will tale place. Our chef, Francine will be cooking the potatoes so that the children will have the opportunity to taste fresh produce grown by themselves. Eco-club are also very excited to announce that they have been successful in receiving a grant from Caterlink (our catering company) to go towards developing a kitchen garden on the roof, where they hope to produce more tasty vegetables for the children's lunches. A big thank you to Caterlink for their generosity.

POTATO PLANTING

The Eco Club has met today to plant potatoes.

The potatoes have been 'chitting'

This is when they send up shoots.

We filled black bags with compost.

The compost was about 15cm deep.

Then we labelled the bags.

The potatoes were planted half in and half out.

We were very careful not to knock off the shoots.

The potato growing bags were put out of the wind.

We are working with the school chef to grow food.
