Outdoor Learning

The P4/5 are continuing their hard work in the garden and this week it involved some weeding, harvesting of potatoes and making a tee-pee trellis.  We also began to attach the decorated welly boots to the fence.  These will be used as planters in the coming weeks.

Mrs Johnston showed the class how to use a 3 canes and a length of string to make a tee-pee trellis.  To tie the canes together the children had to use a lashing and 2 cloves hitch knots in order to make it sturdy.  It was tricky to pull the string tight around the canes however Matthew R and Louis managed and their trellis is now in the raised bed.  We will use this to grow climbing plants and vegetables such as pea pods.
