Our environmental work continues, even with the restrictions of Covid 19. Ms Carey posted her pupils some sunflower seeds to plant. Sunflowers are very bee friendly and provide the birds with food in the Autumn. Happy sowing everyone! We look forward to seeing photos of your sunflowers. Pupils will also find out more about the sunflower cycle and pollination this term.
