As part of our ongoing eco activities we are saving water by using our home made rain catchers to water our garden and nursery plants.

Our teacher student introduced the caterpillars to the children by reading them the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We have two lots of caterpillars in the  nursery one for the am session and one for the pm session. The children have been learning about the life cycle of the butterfly and we have some lovely decorated butterflies for our display. We look forward to releasing out butterflies soon!

The children have been busy sowing vegetables. They have been helping to prepare the soil by weeding and raking. We have planted carrots, beetroot, lettuce and spring onions. Once harvested they will make a delicious snack in the nursery!! The children also helped to make a Mrs Scarecrow for our garden by sawing the branches from the christmas tree used in the nursery at christmas time! Doesn’t she look lovely and scary!!!! We have also planted some lovely smelling herbs such as mint, thyme and sage into our herb garden and heathers in the rockery! Our garden is looking good!
