Spring Has Arrived At Suttons School
At Suttons School the gardening club braved the cold of winter last January to plant a variety of bulbs in the playground beds. Hoping that as the warmer weather of Spring arrived we would have a show of colour with the bulbs coming into bloom.
The Gardening club members have been delighted with the results of their work so far. Many of the bulbs were eaten by squirrels or have been dug up by foxes and neighbouring cats, but the ones that have survived have given the much needed dash of colour at the end of a long Winter season.
The Gardening Clubs next challenge is to get the school garden ship shape for the up and coming growing season. We have already been weeding the large raised beds in the garden area on the field and will be giving the flower beds around the playground some weeding attention too. We will be planting a mixture of vegetables and flowers in the garden after the Easter holidays and are looking forward to some bumper crops to share with the school.
Gardening club is held every Thursday at 12:30, we are always happy to welcome new members to the group. If you are interested in joining please contact Miss Platt in Year 3
