Last term, 5/6A grew butter beans as part of their Science unit. Whilst we had a significant level of crop failure (due to snails and possibly rabbits), some students were able to harvest a few beans this term. More importantly, the growing of the beans excited the students and they began to think about how they could help the environment by being more sustainable. 

This term, as an extra-curricular activity, 5/6A will recycle their tough-tub planters from the beans to grow suitable winter vegetables. Seeds will be planted out next week - watch this space. We are hoping to have enough vegetables for each student to take some home.
