Nearly there with the greenhouse!

This has been a busy week. On Monday, we dug some flat areas and turned turf ready for tyres to be filled with soil. We also used an axe, fork and rake to level out a platform for the greenhouse. Miss Swallow spent some extra time after school making a wooden holding frame to allow us to shovel a load of gravel making a good flat area ready for the greenhouse.

Wednesday, we transported lots of barrows of the gravel down to the plot. Below you can see us inventing a new passtime - gravel dancing - to tread it all down!We didn't meet on Friday as Ross County football were visiting the school on their way to their cup final match in Hampden!

Also, Mr MacKenzie who bought us the greenhouse, came in to help Miss Swallow put it together on Wednesday and again on Thursday - it's still not finished (fiddly but we are almost there!)
