Autumn Science club for Year 2
Year two had lots of fun conducting experiments in Science club over the Autumn term!
15 September – Health & Safety and Harvesting.
The first session of Gardening Club 2014/15 welcomed 17 Year 2 Gardeners (the Year 1 Gardeners start at the beginning of the Spring Term) to a warm and sunny School Garden. After a quick reminder of how to garden safely and of the names and uses of each tool, everyone helped to harvest Runner Beans and to start clearing some of the beds of weeds and old plants and mulching with leaf mold ready for Autumn and Spring planting. Some of the Runner Beans harvested were really long as you can see!!!
25 June – Year 2 Gardeners Harvesting Visit to the Norfolk Show
What an exciting day! 10 Year 2 Gardeners, accompanied by Mrs Senior, Mrs Bryant, Mrs Livingstone and Mr Lynn went to the Norfolk Show to harvest our crop of the potatoes as part of the British Potato Council Grow Your Own Potatoes Challenge (we planted the seed potatoes during a visit to the Norfolk Showground back in March). We are pleased to report that we harvested 520g of Rocket Potatoes and 500g of Maris Peer Potatoes coming third overall. We also enjoyed lots of other activities such as milking, chick handling, pedal tractor riding, mint sauce making etc… and the weather was fantastic as you can see!
19 May – Sunflowers (The Big Challenge)
Another dry session which we made the most of by transplanting the rest of our seedlings. Gardening Club Members then planted a Sunflower Seed to take home and grow with the promise of a prize for the tallest!
