Banton lunch-time clubs started this week! \u00a0Some pupils from Primary 1-7 attended on Wednesday for Gardening & Nature. \u00a0We started off by clearing the weeds and withering plants out from the big tubs using hand forks and trowels for this.<\/p>\n

The older pupils were set the challenge of digging out the vegetable plots using spades and forks. \u00a0They were given a small area to weed and dig out and completed this, managing to progress further. \u00a0Good job!<\/p>\n

There were\u00a0some very interesting finds in the vegetable plots. \u00a0Lots of little carrots were found and some small potato seeds.<\/p>\n

Last session some pupils grew bean plants and today, some managed to save a ‘momentum’ in the form of some beans.<\/p>\n

A fun time was had by all. \u00a0Next week we hope to do some more digging in the vegetable plot, plant some daffodil bulbs and cut back the heather. \u00a0We might also look at growing our own plants for our garden.<\/p>\n
