    Our Year 6 pupils had a wonderful time getting their hands dirty in today's gardening lesson! They explored planting techniques, learned about plant care, and worked collaboratively to brighten up our school garden. It's fantastic to see their enthusiasm and teamwork blossom! Great job, Year 6 – we can't wait to see your plants grow!
