WDPS Allotments and Edible Playgrounds
Harvesting our home grown pumpkins.
Working in the Allotments
Back to school and so much work to do, weeding, harvesting and general clean up. The work is underway with children from all year groups, working together and supporting each other to achieve the tasks in hand.
Our children have been weeding, seeding and planting in our allotments and edible garden. Nurturing everything they have planted and also the mature plants.
Our children and their families have been working really hard weeding and back filling with new soil. Then learning about the sensory plants by smelling and touching them, before planting them.
Weeding, planting and generally tidying up, our children have been working extremely hard in small teams.
Carrying on with the refurbishment, our children have been working together as teams to move soil and clippings to our allotment and edible gardens.
The refurbishment continues with the help of some of our adults and lots of our children. Work is hard, but they have been very resilient.
Our refurbishment continues and the new have beds arrived.
Spring is here and everything is starting to grow. Our children are levelling up their skills on weeding, planting seeds and plants and generally cleaning up.
The greenhouse has a new roof.
The refurbishment continues with the removal of the old greenhouse roof, ready for the new one to be fitted and also the fitting on the first new bed. Our children have been very resilient and responsible for themselves and others.
The refurbishment begins with the hard work of taking the old beds apart and putting them in the skip. Taking responsibility for their own safety and working as a team.
All of our children have been working hard on the big clean up in our allotments and garden area. Children have been using many skills: gross and fine motor skills; communication, following instructions, teamwork and responsibility. The list is endless - all whilst having fun!
All of our children are working together and removing all the soil from our allotment patches to get them prepared for having them renewed. Their teamwork, gross motor skills, communication and hard work have been put to the test. However, our children have stepped up to the challenge! Planting seeds and having a general tidy up.
