October | 2018 | Sandness Primary 1-4

Last Tuesday Primary 1,2 and 4 walked to Transition Turriefield in Sandness to find out about local businesses and learn about how a market garden works. The children were shown all the different areas of the gardens including the big compost heaps and helped with preparing the carrots for sale to shops and reataurants.

We dug up carrots. We put them in a wheelbarrow and wheeled them up to the shed. We trimmed the leaves We washed them. We dried them. We weighed them. We bagged them. We labelled them. We put them in a box at the side of the road for people to buy using the honesty box.

We enjoyed pulling up the carrots. (Nikita ans Elsie)

We weighed out at least 400g of carrots.

We looked at the wormery. The worms eat leaves.

We put the bags of carrots in the box to be sold.

We brought some back to school to eat.
