Our visits and visitors:

Mr Price is going to visit Ash class to answer some of our questions about gardening and having an allotment.

The children have thought of some questions to ask:

  • What is an allotment?
  • What do you grow?
  • What tools do you use? 
  • How do you know the vegetables are ready to dig up/pick?

Ponderosa Zoo- A wild workshop and a tour around the zoo with a zoo keeper. 

The Garden Centre- To see different kinds of flowers. 

 

We will also be making close observations of our environment around us, including the seasonal changes and thinking about special celebrations that are going to be taking place and why they are special to certain people in our community.
