Last year the children in McKee class took part in the grow your own potato project. They grew the crop in the reception, outdoor area and then ate them. This year all the Year 1 children will be helping with this project.

The dates are set by the Potato council, and because of this Hargreaves class started the project off by removing the seed potatoes from the box and putting then out in the chitting tray. However all Year 1's will get a chance to help plant, water, care for and harvest the crop.
At the end of the project, in June, we will also cook and eat them.

Any donations of compost would be gratefully received and again any left over will be used as part of the Ware in Bloom wheelbarrow project which we will also enter next term. Thank you
