The Fruits of our Labour

This afternoon, we opened up a shop outside A1 to sell our garden produce to parents and students. We really enjoyed harvesting our garden and selling what we have worked so hard to grow! The sale was a huge success - we sold everything!

Strawberry Thief!

Our plants are growing so fast! We are starting to see a lot of strawberries. On Tuesday, we saw our first big red strawberry. But when we went back later to have a look, it was gone!

the strawberry was stolen!
Here are stories about the strawberry thief written by Osama, Eli and Hayzel. Eli and Osama think the new kittens will keep the strawberry thief away! This is Osama's first video!

Groovy Gardeners

We had a very busy week last week getting our garden ready. Here is a video of how weeded our garden bed and filled it with soil. It was hard work, but now we are ready to start planting!
