This week we continued our list of jobs and first on the agenda was to sort out the huge bark delivery which has been waiting to be spread out. We pulled out any weeds around our vegetable beds, covered with weed membrane and then the children and adults worked together to distribute the bark into the places we needed it. The children then collected their rakes from the big shed and off to work they went. No one realised how much hard work raking is but everyone worked hard to uncover the paving slabs before ensuring the new paths and our fire pit were covered and looking amazing. The motto of teamwork makes the dream work was used by the children with others cheering on their peers by saying, “Come on, we can do this!”.

The sun shone all day so we spent some time under the gazebo having plenty drinks and breaks. The children love nothing more than working on the allotment however we are all learning about keeping ourselves safe in the warmer weather and the children have identified that they need to have plenty of fluids, take off layers and have regular breaks.
