Today the farmer John Ritchie came to our school and helped us plant our potatoes.

He told us all about growing potatoes and we were able to ask him a lot of questions.

We then went out and planted two of our potatoes in our grow bag. We weighed them first of all and we will compare this weight to our final crop. We have also planted potatoes in different pots, so we will see them at different stages of growth.

John  also split the children into 2 teams and they will have their own competition to see whose potatoes grow the tallest.

Thanks to John for coming to our class and helping us plant our potatoes.
