Yesterday afternoon we walked along to Bellsquarry orchard. When we got there we split into two groups, one of the groups started off by decorating the wooden beehive and the other group began by planting trees in the orchard. To decorate the beehive we used stencils and sponges to create a summer woodland scene. Planting the trees was hard work! We first of all had to chop up the extra earth that would hold the tree in place. Then we secured the tree and earth and added a wooden cane to support the tree and spiral covering. We are looking forward to visiting the orchard in the summer term and hope that the trees will all have started to grow.
