The Fairtrade cookery competition was a huge success!

THE BIG PLANT

On Wednesday most of the classes got to come outside and plant some trees! The classes were required to make a capital T shape by digging into the ground then pulling up by the top of the T.

 

 

 

When you dug into the ground it would open up and you put the tree in the big hole and then close up the hole.

The classes: P1 P1/2 P2 P4/5 P5 P6 P6/7 P7 and the Nursery came out and planted some trees.
