Just before half-term, Maple class spent an afternoon planting apple tree saplings with members of our community.
We had the most wonderful afternoon planting some apple trees in an orchard in Bicton village. Children worked hard to dig the holes, plant the trees, and then walked to the nearby stream to collect water for the tree’s first drink!
During the dig, they had a worm search and counted how many worms there were in every hole. The children really enjoyed searching the soil and found some lovely other insects too.
We all look forward to returning to the orchard, to see how all of the trees are getting along, soon!
