Today we used our harvested potatoes to make chips for snack. We also made wild rose syrup which we used to make rose milkshakes 😋 🌹🥔 @RHSSchools
To celebrate the summer solstice, we made our own solar ovens and used them to cook s'mores. We also made summer solstice tea and smudge sticks. ☀️
This week we made rose petal bath salts for Father's Day. We harvested some onions and used them to make cheese savoury sandwiches. We also tried our elderflower cordial that we made last week and harvested some rhubarb which we tried dipped in sugar. @RHSSchools

We were kindly given lots of tomato plants from our friends at the allotment. We have planted some in our allotment but we have lots spare. They are in our plant swap station. Please help yourself.
This week we used our elder tree to make elder flower cordial and elder whistles. We planted cornflowers, red poppies and white poppies in our jubilee garden and used some of our home made compost to plant some of our seedlings. @RHSSchools

This week we created a scarecrow of Her Majesty The Queen for our Jubilee celebrations next week 👸 We planted strawberries that were kindly donated by one of our parents and we planted parsley, dill, sorrel and basil in our portable herb garden. @RHSSchools
This week we worked hard to dig over and mark out an area for our Union Jack wild flower garden. We looked after the chickens, planted lots of vegetable seeds and watered our seedlings. We enjoyed ice cream with lilac syrup and fresh lilac flowers for snack @RHSSchools
A busy week planting pansies, sunflowers, courgettes, radishes and butternut squash. We planted seeds in our pumpkin patch and made a start on our portable herb garden. We collected dandelions and made dandelion tea for snack. @RHSSchools
Today we made a start on our edible flower garden by planting nasturtium seeds. We bottled up our seaweed fertiliser and created a structure for our pea wigwam. We enjoyed crackers with wild garlic butter for snack. 😋 @RHSSchools
Please help yourself to any of the plants and bulbs at our plant swap station. Although plant/seed donations are appreciated, you don’t have to leave a plant donation in order to take one. I know some parents were unsure about taking some as they didn’t have any to donate.
As well as our chocolate challenge, we bottled up our nettle fertiliser, watered the plants and finished decorating our community plant swap station. We also planted some beans that were kindly donated by one of our grandparents.
We earned our chocolate treats tonight by working as part of a team to solve some ‘escape room’ type challenges.
We had some spring bulbs left over from our Dobbies donation. We have left them at our ‘Community Plant Swap’ station. Please feel free to take some home to plant in your gardens. 💐
This week we made seaweed tea fertiliser, decorated our community plant swap station, munched our potatoes and made Mother's Day gifts.
This week we collected nettles to make our own nettle tea fertiliser. We also continued with our seed sowing, plant markers and compost making. A huge thank you to @Morrisons#Birtley for donating lots of seeds and a trolley for our portable herb garden! 😊
School Council would like to say a huge thank to our parents for all of their generous donations to our Ukraine appeal. We would also like to say a big thank you to Mrs Pearson for arranging collection. 😊
A lovely spring evening at the allotment. We made plant markers, composted our rubbish, created an area for our pumpkin patch and planted potatoes, peas and a raspberry bush. We enjoyed chocolate swiss roll and mint tea with honey for snack.
