This week, we enjoyed a lovely spring week in the garden.
Danielle demonstrates how to make pots from strips of newspaper.
We will be using them after the Easter break for sowing seeds.
Meanwhile, Connorhan and Lewis are busy adding a layer of upturned turf into the bottom of the raised beds they levelled last week (the one in the foreground is not levelled yet!)

On Thursday, everyone helped to take soil - the last of our donated pile - to fill the raised beds.
I wonder what Danielle said to tickle Lewis so much!!
Lexi helps to fill the raised bed.

On Thursday this week, there was a parents' evening and the Malaysia group had a bake sale to raise money for their trip. Lewis makes spectacular fairy cakes!!
The leeks are still growing away quietly!
We have started chitting the Blue Belle potatoes for this year's competition. We will let pupils "adopt a potato" for £1. We'll then plant them into bags and put them on display to the public through the summer months for people to guess which plant will grow the most weight of potatoes. Money raised will be for a local cause this year - the Highland Hospice that supports cancer patients and their families. Watch this space for more news - we plan to launch it after the Easter break!
