This week we had so many jobs to get busy with. We were very late in our planting efforts so it was full steam ahead planting as well as repairing our steps and building our new poly tunnel door. We separated into small groups so we could tackle all our jobs. Two groups helped to plant whilst the other tended to repair work.

One of our steps had slipped and we needed to ensure it was safe for everyone to use. The group thought about how they might fix it and what tools they would need. We measured out some wood to make the step, cut it to size and fix it down. There was lots of communication and negotiation to get the work done and after a tool safety talk, the step was repaired. Time to get on with the poly tunnel door.

The children helped to build the new door, securing it with nuts and bolts. The adult then held it in place whilst the children screwed the hinges on and by the end of the day we had all of our jobs complete. As we closed the door to our poly tunnel, we noticed something moving on the ground. It was a very small frog. We transferred the frog to the pond where he would be safe and then it was time to pack up and head back to nursery. We had all had a productive day.
