The Polygon Allotment

 

The Polygon Allotment

 

 

Now that the weather has changed and Spring is in the air 4AW spent a lesson in the Polygon school allotment. They cleared weeds from around the wishing well and tidied one of the allotment beds.

 

Reece, Ryan and Zack also tidied and replanted the strawberry bed in hopes of a fresh crop of strawberries in the Summer months.

 

 

 

 

 



The Morris House Garden

Pupils at Morris House initially spent the winter months clearing and preparing the front garden for Southampton in Bloom this summer.

This week, Charlie and Jordan planted various flowering border plants including a lovely selection of colourful pansies that were kindly donated by Sainbury's and Homebase.

They will continue to develop the front border area over the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more updates...

An Update on 3LBs Planting Project

3LB have been given part of the playground/flower beds so that they can take part in a community planting challenge. They have been working hard with Bernie each week to turn over,weed,dig and plant so that they can improve the school (plus they really enjoy it!).

Last week,the boys began to plant the plants that had been donated to Bernie from Homebase and soon enough the flower beds will be looking amazing!

Well done 3LB and a special well done to Jake as he has made a special effort to help with this project-well done.

Independent Research in PSHE

                                       

 

As a school we are always promoting independent learning.

It was fantastic to see year 9 pupils in a PSHE lesson using the TalktoFrank website to find answers to their questions and further information on drugs use. 

Pupils then shared their findings with the rest of the class.

Well done year 9!
