The last day of the season at Burntisland Primary School

The season started with building raised beds with children who enjoyed the process and had a great deal of satisfaction when the beds were filled with compost.

It started with two classes at a time, and then reduced to one class of 30 children to give each child more time ‘doing’, rather than standing around. Lots was planted, mostly seedlings by the children and it all grew.

On Friday the children were asked what did they enjoy.

• Planting seedlings and seeds
• Learning about how plants grow
• Tasting vegetables
• Being outside
• Four children said they did not like mud on their hands 
• All the children wanted baby chicks to be brought to the school.

These are board beans planted from seed by the children that will provide beans that can be tasted and enjoyed or spat out in the garden. I hope the school can raise funds for this important project to carry on.
