Greenhouses – Calder Class, April 22nd 2025

Calder class visited Daisy Clough Garden Centre in Scorton on April 22nd 2025.  This venue was chosen because the class topic this term is ‘Greenhouses’. 

We had a look in several greenhouses and observed which plants were available to buy.  Our objective was to buy fruit, vegetables and herbs so that we can grow them in our school grounds.  We had already had a look at the produce that was already growing in the polytunnel and in pots in our horticulture environment.  Mr Melville suggested some suitable plants for us to grow.

We carefully selected plants which should produce things for us to nurture and eat before the end of the summer term.  The plants will be tended to by all members of the class.  Each child picked a plant to look after over the coming weeks and months.
