Potato planting in P6, to conclude our Hunger theme
To finish our theme Hunger we decided to plant some seed potatoes in the hope of harvesting them later in the year. McManus Hardware shop agreed to kindly sponsor us, gifting us seed potatoes and compost!
We walked down the the village, what a glorious morning! Thank you to the mums that volunteered to help us! Liam and Rose from McManus's were wonderful, a fabulous source of information! Liam chatted to the class and gave them a guide on how to plant the seed potatoes. The children loved their visit, especially as they were gifted a little goodie bag with an Easter treat!! Thank you.
The class came back to school and planted the potatoes using the compost and watered them. What a fabulous day!
Thank you Ruairi our cleaner for helping us and McManus's Hardware for sponsoring our potato growing and the yummy treats.
