Year 2 make seed balls!, by Mr Lavin

Date: 23rd Mar 2017 @ 1:35pm

This week Year 2 had a fab time making our very own Seed balls, which are now drying in a secret location in school (not to be mixed up with Deliciously Ella style Energy Balls!)

Apologies if some of the children got a bit messy but they had a great time mixing all the ingredients and learning about why we are going to grow the seeds in this way rather than just scattering them on the ground.

Take a look at the report below!
