It has been very cold and wet this month in the garden so we have been working inside the school in the garden club area.  Located beside the girls toilets!

 

Fara’s report

This month we did some planting.  I put some spinach inside my pot.  We are making a calendar to sell at Parents’ night to raise money to go to Gardening Scotland 2011.

I am looking forward to doing more planting at garden club and learning the plants names.

 

 

Stephen’s report

This month we have been making a calendar, my month is November.

I like getting messy at garden club, and I also like telling the school what we do at garden club at assembly.

 

Here is a picture of Tod and Harry that Sonny has drawn for the calendar.

Tod is a tortoise and is the Tuesday group mascot.  Harry is a hedgehog and is the Thursday group mascot.

 

 

Morrison’s Vouchers

We have just finished collecting Morrisons’ vouchers.  So far we have 1130 which is almost enough to get a raised timber bed for the front of the school and a wheelbarrow.  We hope to have all the vouchers collected and counted by the end of next week as we have to order the vouchers by the end of November.  We want to say a big thank you to everyone who has collected vouchers for us.  Mrs Smith who is the Primary 5 teacher collected lots and lots of vouchers for us.

Daffodil planting

Primary 1a have been learning about growing things. Their teacher Mrs Aktar asked the garden club if they could come and help the children plant some daffodil bulbs.

 

Here are two children from Primary 1a busy planting their bulbs. We will help to look after them and hope to see them grow and flower in February.

Here is Daniel’s drawing of a daffodil.

Here is a report by Unzla, Fara and Win Kee in Primary 7 about helping Primary 1 to plant bulbs.

We put the bulbs in the pots but we didn’t plant them, we got another tray and put compost in it.  Then we got plastic sticks with points on it and put them in the pots and took them to Mrs Aktar’s class.  Then we helped the small children put the compost in the pots and plant the bulbs.  It was fun!

 Here is Jewel in Primary 1a’s drawing of a daffodil.

Meryem’s report

Gardening Club is a wonderful club to be in.  Its fun for lots of reasons!  The people who go to gardening club love it.  What we do is plant bulbs, pull weeds out, build bird houses, make calendars and all sorts of things.  The reason why I joined the gardening club was because I love gardening and my Mum, Hilary loves it too.  My Mum and I give lots of herbs and all sort of stuff to Heather and the garden club and I hope they will take care of the herbs.  Sannah also bought Heather some pepper seeds.

Eli’s report

Eli coloured in this picture of a bluebell.  Her Grandad very kindly gave us some bluebells to plant in our garden.

Thomas’s report

I like meeting my friends at garden club.  I enjoyed making the garden club calendar.  This month we have been planting seeds and harvesting fruit and vegetables.  I am looking forward to planting in the spring time.
