Friday Farm Update - 21st March 2025

Y10 work experience pupils helped to make and fit a gate for the allotment area to help with the Y8 allotment project. They showed great initiative and helped in the design, planning, making and fitting of it. This was made almost entirely from scrap wood and mesh and fitted to the posts that they had cut and concreted in place earlier in the week.

The Y8 allotment club pupils are really pleased with the area and have started rotovating the soil in preparation for some planting, and the Y8 morning and after school clubs have been sowing fruit and veg in the new mini greenhouses, which will be planted in the allotment area in the next few weeks.

Intervention pupils also enjoyed repairing the outdoor guinea pig cage to get Poppy and Daisy outside while the weather has been warm and sunny, and they are looking forward to sprucing it up with a coat of paint next week.
