On Monday, Year 5 visited the Pig at Bridge Place for the first of 3 sessions looking at seasonal gardening. This is part of their 'Adapt A School' campaign in which we have been lucky enough to be selected to work closely with their team. While we were there, the Year 5 children learnt about what was growing in the walled garden, including chillies, mushrooms and mint. We were able to taste some of their produce and pulled up a carrot each. Comparisons were made about how the produce was organic, as opposed to be treated with pesticides. After that, the children planted their own broad bean plant to care for and we concluded our visit by looking at some of the animals on site, namely the quails and pigs. We had a brilliant time and look forward to our next visit.
