Did you help plant vegetables or flowers in the school garden?
I popped in yesterday durinhg my exercise to see how they are growing. I am glad to say that Mr Ricardo and Mr Franco have been looking after them really well.
Are you growing anything during lockdown? Even if you have no garden you can use a balcony or sunny window sill.
You could keep a diary and record each week the progress of your plant - its height, how many leaves, when the first buds appear, the first flowers and send it in to Chalkhill Writers so it can appear here.
Now for a quiz - can you name these plants? Link to answers at the bottom of the page

We have also got vegetables growing in the community allotment next to the railway line in Anton Place. There we have cauliflower seedlings, courgettes, tomatoes, onions, radishes and potatoes.
I wonder if you will be back in school in time to eat them?
