We have been out to the poly tunnel this morning to see our radish plants, turnips and lettuce. We have brought the radishes and some rocket in to school to be prepared for lunch. We are looking forward to tasting them. The turnips unfortunately are not ready, due to the summer holidays we are looking for families willing to transplant the turnips into their own gardens. If you would be interested please contact Mrs McLurkin or Mr Stokes to arrange a suitable time.
