Year 1 Gardening

Year 1 had a lovely visit from the Gardening Team. The children learnt about the different parts of a plant and played a fun game sorting and identifying a selection of fruits and vegetables. The children also planted their our own seeds to grow in the classroom. Then the children enjoyed tasting blueberries, celery and figs!
