On Tuesday mornings, we make full use of our amazing allotment, where children take part in the exciting process of sowing and harvesting seasonal produce. In this vibrant outdoor setting, they learn about plant growth, sustainable gardening, and where their food comes from through hands-on activities. Through working together in the allotment, children not only develop practical gardening skills but also build teamwork, responsibility, and a deeper connection with nature.

STEM
Every Tuesday afternoon during our STEM Club, children dive into a world of discovery through exciting hands-on experiments. We explore scientific concepts by designing, testing, and analysing our own experiments. We invite children to ask questions, explore the world around us and share their findings. By working together on these experiments, children can develop their critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills, all while igniting their passion for science.
