Gardening at Brailsford


Today I joined the Year 2 children at Brailsford School and they introduced me to their productive vegetable garden - peas, beans, potatoes, radishes, onions and strawberries - set off nicely by a backdrop of big yellow smiling pansies. After we'd had a look, a feel, a smell, a listen and even a taste (of hawthorn leaves which used to be known by country children as "bread and cheese") we talked and wrote down all our experiences on some leaf shaped paper, all ready to write our vegetable garden song next week. I can't wait - yum yum!
